Adjustable mounting systems

ifm offers a complete component system of easy-to-use mounting sets that make the installation of sensors and reflectors easier for you.
The solutions consist of a clamp fastened by only one screw that keeps the sensors safely in position and guarantees free movement in all axes.
Whereas the sensor mounting elements used depend on the sensor type, the clamps can be mounted in three different ways: rod mounting, free-standing mounting and fitting onto aluminium extrusions which are common in industry.
