SICK, BEF Series Mounting Bracket 18.2 mm for Use with KT1M

SICK BEF Series Thermocouple Connector, Mounting Bracket Accessory, For Use With M18 Sensors - BEF-WN-M18

This thermocouple connector is a mounting accessory designed to secure M18 sensors in industrial installations. Manufactured from zinc-coated steel, it provides an angled support for sensor bodies and is supplied without additional fasteners. The bracket is part of a family of mounting hardware intended for use with a range of M18 devices and complements sensor deployments on machines and panels.

Features & Benefits

• Angled profile ensures correct sensor orientation for reliable readings
  Supplied without hardware allows custom fastener selection for fitment
  Compact footprint supports tight installations without interference

**Applications**

• Suitable for mounting M18 temperature sensors in process control systems
  Ideal for securing proximity detectors on production machinery
  Used with M18 photo-electric sensors in automation lines
  Can be used for retrofitting sensors onto existing machine frames
  Used for positioning sensors where angled alignment is required

Which sensor families can be attached to this bracket?

It accepts a variety of M18 devices commonly used in sensing applications, including cylindrical temperature and proximity styles listed for M18 compatibility.

What material properties affect mounting choices?

The part is MADE from steel with a zinc coating, so corrosion resistance and mechanical strength should be considered relative to the installation environment.

How does the bracket influence sensor alignment?

Its angled design positions the sensor at a fixed inclination to aid repeatable orientation, which helps maintain consistent sensing geometry.
