SICK, BEF Series Mounting Bracket Bracket for Use with M12 Sensors

SICK BEF Series Mounting Bracket, 30mm Width, 30mm Height - BEF-WN-M12N

This mounting bracket provides a Compact support solution for securing M12 sensors in industrial installations. Designed as an accessory to hold cylindrical sensors, it offers a small footprint suitable for confined assemblies and straightforward integration into automation, electronics and mechanical equipment layouts.

Features and Benefits:

• Square profile simplifies alignment during installation Constructed to accept M12 sensor housings securely Low-profile form reduces obstruction in tight spaces Robust attachment method maintains sensor orientation under vibration Compatible with standard mounting practices in control panels

Applications

• Suitable for fixing M12 sensors to machine frames Ideal for sensor placement within conveyor systems Used with proximity sensing arrangements in automation cells Can be used for mounting sensors in test rigs and benches

What mounting locations are practical given the bracket’s size?

Its Compact 30mm dimensions allow fitting into restricted areas such as narrow panels, small enclosures and tight mounting points where larger brackets would not fit.

Which sensor Interface does the bracket accommodate?

It is intended for sensors with an M12 interface, allowing direct support of commonly used cylindrical sensor bodies without adaptors.

How does the bracket affect sensor alignment and stability?

The bracket’s geometry provides a fixed seating that helps preserve alignment and resists movement from routine vibration typical in manufacturing environments.

Is the bracket certified for hazardous area use?

The item is not certificated for hazardous area applications and should not be deployed where such certification is required.
