Position Sensor Mount: Load Capacity 2kg max sensor weight

Component Specifications

Definition

A specialized mechanical component designed to securely mount and align position sensors on dancer roller assemblies in web handling and tension control systems. It ensures precise sensor positioning relative to the roller's movement for accurate displacement measurement.

Working Principle

Provides rigid mechanical interface between position sensor and dancer roller frame, maintaining consistent alignment through roller oscillations. Typically incorporates adjustable features for fine-tuning sensor position relative to roller pivot point.

Materials

Aluminum alloy 6061-T6 or stainless steel 304/316, anodized or powder-coated for corrosion resistance
