1049038

Overview

The SICK 1049038 is a safety switch component designed for industrial position monitoring applications. It operates on an inductive principle to detect metal actuation without physical contact, ensuring durability against shock and vibration. The device features two OSSD safety outputs for direct connection to safe control solutions, eliminating the need for additional wiring. It supports Flexi Loop technology for series connection with enhanced diagnostics. The unit includes an LED status indicator for fast diagnostics and is rated up to Performance Level e (PL e) per EN ISO 13849, suitable for contaminated or hygiene-critical environments.

Feature Summary

• Non-contact inductive operation for position monitoring using metal actuation
• Two OSSD safety outputs for direct connection to safety controllers
• Flexi Loop compatibility for safe series connection with minimal wiring
• LED status indicator for rapid diagnostic feedback

Applications

• Position monitoring in industrial machinery
• Safety interlocking in automated systems
• Applications requiring high shock and vibration resistance
• Environments with strict hygiene standards

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific variant configuration matches the required response range and connector type before purchase. Confirm that the target safety controller supports the direct connection of OSSD outputs and Flexi Loop functionality. Ensure environmental conditions align with the device's operational temperature and protection ratings. Cross-reference the part number with official SICK documentation to confirm current production status and compliance certifications.

Selection Notes

Select this model when non-contact detection of metal actuation is required for safety-related position monitoring. Choose based on the need for direct integration with safe control solutions without intermediate wiring. Consider the PL e rating and Flexi Loop capability for complex safety circuits. Evaluate the M12 plug connector requirement and LED diagnostic needs for maintenance accessibility.
