2.2.2 Machining of mounting brackets
Figure 8 : Various shapes of custom mounting brackets
Factors to be considered when machining the mounting bracket:
The mounting bracket must be installed at a perfectly stable location;
•
The sensor is 3/4" in diameter, with 3/4-16 UNF thread. It can be fitted in a 19 mm (3/4") unthreaded hole
•
with the two jam nuts supplied with the sensor;
The mounting bracket must be rigid to avoid vibrations. The use of aluminium plates with a thickness
•
between 10 and 13mm (3/8" and 1/2") is recommended. If needed, use lateral reinforcement to add rigidity.
It is important to make sure that the bracket does not vibrate, as this would alter the
readings from the sensor.

PCS-200ESB Universal Proximity Sensor_Installation_Rev. 1
The face of the PCS-200ESB sensor must be
installed at mid-range distance from the target. The
measuring range of the sensor depends on the
linearization module used.
