Balluff modular sensor mounting system

The decision of where and how to locate a sensor is often not made until the machine or equipment is actually being constructed. In-house fabricated fastening systems can be expensive and time consuming, so Balluff offers a line of sensor mounting fasteners for mix-and-match flexibility.

The fasteners are available in plastic or V4A stainless steel, making the mounting system suitable for use in challenging industrial environments and in automotive areas. The high quality stainless steel versions also provide resistance to industrial cleaning agents common in washdown environments.

The aluminium base holder fits nearly any manufacturer-specific mounting extrusion and fully covers the slot. Also featured are knurled support rods that provide a secure hold even for large, heavy sensors.

The system includes every conceivable accessory, including clamping cylinders, cross-connectors and sensor holders for block-style and tubular sensors, many designed so that, in their fastening function, they also provide mechanical protection for the sensor. Components such as reflector holders and adapter plates are also available.
