Mounting solutions and accessories for reliable sensor mounting

When searching for a suitable sensor, the focus is primarily on the specific task that a device solution is to fulfill in an application. In this context, the prevailing environmental conditions at the place of use may also be relevant, as the technical device properties and the appropriate connection technology depend on this to a large extent. In the early project phase, however, little or no attention is often paid to the self-test sensor installation. Nevertheless, a sensor mounting that is optimally matched to an application is just as important as the device solution itself.

The motto "Fits, fits, wobbles and has air" should therefore never apply to sensor mounting. This is because an incorrectly mounted sensor can lead to malfunctions and thus significantly impair the smooth operation of machines or systems and the smooth running of processes. In the worst case scenario, longer downtimes with costly production losses are the unavoidable consequences.

ipf electronic offers a comprehensive range of very different sensor solutions for a broad spectrum of applications and can draw on decades of practical experience from a wide range of industries. In view of the large number of potential areas of use for sensor technology, for which new fields of application are constantly being developed, it is impossible to know the requirements of each individual application in detail. Nevertheless, when developing mounting accessories, ipf electronic has set itself the goal of offering optimum solutions for as many different installation situations and operating conditions as possible.

This white paper describes the essential requirements for modern mounting solutions and provides an overview of the wide range of mounting solutions from ipf electronic. In addition, a selection of accessories for device protection, connection components and tools is presented at the end of the white paper.
