Model RP Sensor mounting
MODEL RP PROFILE-STYLE SENSOR MOUNTING exible installation in any position!
Temposonics Model RP profile-style sensors offer two basic mounting methods; side grooves for use with mounting feet or a bottom groove
that accepts special T-Slot nuts. Both the mounting feet and T-Slot nuts can be positioned along the sensor extrusion to best secure the sensor
for each particular application.

Notes:
1. Model RP sensors include two mounting feet (part no. 400802) for sensors stroke lengths up to 1250 mm (50 in.)
2. One additional mounting foot is included for stroke lengths over 1250 mm (50 in.) and for each additional 500 mm (20 in.),
thereafter.
3. MTS recommends using 10-32 cap screws (customer supplied) at a maximum torque of 44 in. lbs. when fastening mounting feet.
