The Sick WEU26/3-103A00 is a high-performance single-beam photoelectric safety switch designed to offer reliable and efficient safety solutions for a variety of industrial applications. This robust block-style sensor is engineered to ensure the protection of personnel and equipment by detecting the presence or absence of objects within a range of 0.5 to 20 meters.
Crafted with a durable cast aluminium housing and a scratch-resistant polycarbonate front lens, the WEU26/3-103A00 is built to withstand harsh industrial environments, boasting an IP67 rating for dust and water resistance. Its dimensions of 50 x 116 x 173.5 mm make it a compact yet powerful safety device suitable for integration into a wide range of machinery and safety systems.
The unit operates on a 24 V DC supply and features relay switching outputs, capable of handling switching voltages from 10 V DC to 30 V DC, and 10 V AC to 230 V AC, with a current capacity per OSSD of 0.02 A to 2 A. The contacts are made from a silver alloy with gold plating, ensuring longevity and reliability with an electrical life of at least 1 x 10^5 switching cycles and a mechanical life of at least 1 x 10^7 cycles.
With a quick response time of ≤ 22 ms and the ability to detect objects as small as 30 mm, the WEU26/3-103A00 is an excellent choice for applications requiring precise and timely detection. It also features optical synchronisation and front lens heating for optimal performance in diverse conditions.
The safety switch is classified as Type 4 according to IEC 61496-1 standards, with a Safety Integrity Level of SIL3 (IEC 61508) and a Category 4 rating (EN ISO 13849), ensuring the highest level of safety for your operations. The Performance Level is PL e (EN ISO 13849), and it has a B10d value indicating a high level of reliability.
For those seeking a reliable safety solution that combines durability, precision, and compliance with the highest safety standards, the Sick WEU26/3-103A00 single-beam photoelectric safety switch is an outstanding choice.

Absolutely fantastic service. Rob was very helpful. Great communication. Requested part was shipped in no time.Konrad Eliaszuk
Found the component i was looking for ad a great price. Great support from the staff as I was paying using a wire transfer. - Quick delivery and very good packaging.Adriano Tiberi
Found the part we needed at the best price. Spoke to Rob to make sure the part was actually in stock, as many companies don't actually have the part available to ship. It was in stock ready and the part was checked and shipped and received within a couple of days from their German stock. Would definitely use again and recommend.Chris Sentance
