The document introduces balluff's BES series sensor mounts, which can quickly replace sensors, reduce downtime and setup costs
The manual introduces Balluff Prox Mounts for tubular sensors, explaining how the sensor is assembled into the mount tube, locked with a plastic compression ring and metal nut, and how the mount remains in place for future sensor replacements. It also covers quick sensor replacement by loosening the metal nut and re‑installing a new sensor.
A selection guide lists universal mounting accessories, inductive, capacitive, and photo‑electric options, along with material specifications, thread sizes, and dimensions for each mount variant. Advantages such as reduced downtime, lower setup costs, and secure fastening are highlighted.
| Material | Steel, black PTFE coated |
|---|---|
| Thread sizes | M12x1, M16x1, M18x1, M24x1.5 |
| Compression ring material | CuZn, nickel plated |
The sensor is assembled into the Prox Mount tube and locked into place with a plastic compression ring and metal nut.
They reduce downtime, lower setup costs, and provide secure and accurate sensor fastening.
Loosen the metal nut, remove the sensor, install the new sensor into the Prox Mount tube and lock it with the compression ring and nut.
