Product Description

SICK BEF-AH-DX50 Bracket – Precision Alignment for Distance Sensors

The SICK BEF-AH-DX50 bracket is a purpose-built alignment unit designed to secure and accurately position SICK distance sensors from the Dx-series. Made from durable zinc-coated steel, it provides a stable mounting foundation that helps reduce installation errors and maintains consistent sensor orientation over time. The bracket is engineered to work with commonly used models such as Dx35, Dx50, Dx50-2, Dx80, and DT20 Hi, allowing installers to achieve proper alignment quickly. With mounting hardware included, the BEF-AH-DX50 offers a dependable setup option for environments that require reliable distance measurement performance.

The BEF-AH-DX50 alignment unit improves sensing accuracy by keeping distance sensors firmly positioned, even when equipment is exposed to vibration or frequent adjustments. Its robust steel construction supports long-term stability, helping prevent misalignment that could impact measurement results. Multiple sensor mounting points make it suitable for a wide range of SICK distance products, simplifying integration into new or existing machinery. Once installed, the bracket enhances measurement consistency, reduces service downtime, and helps maintain the correct detection angle—benefits that are essential for material flow monitoring, part positioning tasks, and automated quality inspection systems.

Why BEF-AH-DX50?

The BEF-AH-DX50 is the bracket you choose when precision truly matters. It transforms ordinary sensor mounting into a stable, repeatable alignment platform that installers can trust. Its rugged steel build, sensor-specific mounting points, and vibration-resistant structure make it the perfect partner for ensuring every distance measurement starts from a flawlessly aligned position.

What Problem Does It Solve?

The BEF-AH-DX50 eliminates inconsistent sensor readings caused by poor alignment, loose mounting, or shifting hardware. It solves the challenge of keeping distance sensors fixed at the correct angle—even in harsh industrial conditions—preventing mis-triggers, measurement drift, and unnecessary recalibration. It provides a reliable way to lock sensor accuracy in place and keep processes running smoothly.

The Applications of the SICK BEF-AH-DX50 Alignment Bracket

1. High-Speed Conveyor Sorting Accuracy

In modern logistics hubs, distance sensors are mounted over fast-moving conveyor belts to detect parcel spacing and trigger diverter arms with precise timing. If the sensor shifts even slightly, the detection angle becomes unreliable, causing misroutes or delayed sorting. The BEF-AH-DX50 bracket keeps the sensor locked firmly in its intended orientation despite constant vibration from motors, guides, and mechanical impacts. With stable alignment, the system maintains consistent distance readings, enabling smoother sorting at higher throughput. This contributes to fewer errors, reduced manual rework, and a more reliable flow of packages during peak volumes.

2. Automated Storage and Retrieval Position Feedback

Automated warehouse shuttles depend on accurate distance measurements to approach shelves, verify compartment depth, and confirm bin positions. Slight misalignment can make the system interpret structural elements incorrectly or hesitate during movement. By using the BEF-AH-DX50 bracket, the sensor remains rigidly aligned even when the shuttle accelerates, brakes, or experiences lateral motion. This stable mounting supports reliable feedback for navigation and positioning tasks. As a result, the AS/RS equipment completes cycles more smoothly, reduces misreads of shelf geometry, and improves overall storage accuracy in high-density warehouse operations.

3. Robotic Palletizing Height Monitoring

In palletizing applications, distance sensors are frequently used to monitor the height of stacked goods so the robot can adjust its path during pick-and-place operations. Without secure mounting, repeated arm movements or pallet impacts can shift the sensor, leading to inaccurate readings. The BEF-AH-DX50 bracket provides a firm structural base that keeps the sensor fixed on its intended axis. With reliable alignment, the robot can judge load height accurately, avoid unplanned collisions, and adapt its pattern as the stack changes. This improves workflow consistency and reduces stoppages caused by uncertain measurement data.

4. Part Verification in Machining and Assembly Lines

Manufacturing stations often rely on distance sensors to confirm that components are correctly positioned before machining, clamping, or assembly begins. Vibrations from cutting tools, presses, or conveyors can disturb sensors that are not firmly mounted, resulting in false “part present” or “part missing” signals. Using the BEF-AH-DX50 bracket ensures the sensor’s angle remains unchanged throughout the process. Stable positioning gives the system dependable measurements, helping prevent tool damage, mis-cuts, and production interruptions. This alignment stability contributes to more consistent quality control and smoother throughput in metalworking and automated assembly environments.
