Contact surface for sensors
on the machine
The sensor is mounted on the base using the M6 threaded bolt.
To ensure optimum measuring quality, the contact surface on
the machine should be completely flat, smooth and larger than
the base of the sensor. It is recommended that the sensors be
mounted directly on the machine housing using an existing M6
threaded hole. Adapters for other thread sizes are available as
accessories.
In addition, it is possible to make a threaded hole in the machine
which the sensor can then be screwed into. In cases where
the surface of the machine is slightly curved or uneven, a suitable
adhesive with gap-filling properties has to be used between
the machine surface and the sensor. If possible the surface can also
be straightened using a suitable tool.
Mounting plates, which can be glued on if no screw-in thread is
available on the machine, are also included in the scope of delivery
of the sensors.
Risk of damage due to incorrect mounting. Screwing the sensor onto
a highly curved surface can result in the threaded bolt twisting and
cause permanent damage to the device.
Furthermore, please note the following,
Figure 20
, page 35:
■
The sensor has to be attached perpendicular to the mounting
surface.
■
The mounting surface must not be excessively curved or uneven.
■
The surface should be free of contamination.
■
The sensor can be operated at ambient temperatures of –40 °C
to +85 °C.
