BRAIME Whirligig®

Universal Shaft
Sensor Mount
Sensor Installation Made Easy!

APPLICATION

Fully guarded target for easy mounting of motion sensors.

The ‘Whirligig’ three in one target/bracket/guard is suitable for

all industry standard cylindrical or DIN style inductive sensors
including our M100, M300 and M800 speed sensors.

The sensor bolts to the whirligig base plate and the complete
assembly bolts to the machines shaft. The installation of speed
sensors is now simple, reliable and fully guarded. Shaft or
machine vibration does not affect the performance of the
sensor, as the whole assembly moves with the shaft.
