to a short bracket, while a separate clamp supports the cable.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>A photoelectric sensor bracket should hold the sensing direction steady, carry cable loads away from the body and leave the controls accessible. Matching the screw size alone is not enough. For the compact C3Z-D100N, begin with the two original M3 fixing points and the real target path, then choose the bracket geometry around them.<\/p>\n<p>The practical purchasing question is not simply whether an accessory fits the sensor. It is whether the assembled sensor, bracket, machine frame and cable route will preserve the same detection point after adjustment, cleaning and normal machine movement.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Separate_sensor_attachment_from_machine_attachment\"><\/span>Separate sensor attachment from machine attachment<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>The C3Z drawing identifies two M3 fixing points in the sensor body and shows a corresponding mounting bracket. These are different from the holes or slots used to attach the bracket to the machine. A bracket can match the sensor and still be unsuitable for a narrow extrusion, an angled guard or a frame that moves relative to the target.<\/p>\n<p>Ask for the complete accessory drawing with the quotation. Check the sensor-hole pattern, bracket thickness, bend geometry, usable slot travel and the machine-side fixing method. Confirm screw engagement and tightening guidance for the supplied parts; do not choose a longer screw or a tightening value by appearance. The available C3Z sheet does not specify a mounting torque or a vibration qualification for every customer bracket.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Keep_the_optical_face_clear_throughout_adjustment\"><\/span>Keep the optical face clear throughout adjustment<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>The D100N is a diffuse-reflective sensor: it receives light returned from the target. Its optical face needs a clear view of that target, not the back of a bracket, a guard edge or a cable loop. Check this at both ends of an adjustment slot and across the full range of expected product positions.<\/p>\n<p>The C3Z table gives an adjustable nominal distance of 100 cm for the D100 variant using a 10 \u00d7 10 cm white matte-paper reference target. That is not a promise that every dark, glossy, small or angled object will switch at the same position. Place the actual production target in the proposed geometry before finalizing the bracket. A mechanically convenient location may still provide a poor optical return.<\/p>\n<table>\n<thead>\n<tr>\n<th>Bracket decision<\/th>\n<th>What to check on the assembled machine<\/th>\n<th>Information to request<\/th>\n<\/tr>\n<\/thead>\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td>Fixing pattern<\/td>\n<td>Both original sensor fixing points align without forcing the body.<\/td>\n<td>Sensor and accessory drawings, screw specification and engagement guidance.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Adjustment direction<\/td>\n<td>The slot allows useful aiming without blocking the sensing window.<\/td>\n<td>Required adjustment envelope and a view of the target path.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Structural support<\/td>\n<td>The bracket and its machine attachment do not shift relative to the target.<\/td>\n<td>Operating movement and vibration conditions for an application review.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Service access<\/td>\n<td>The button, indicator, screw heads and optical face remain reachable.<\/td>\n<td>Clearance around guards, tools and replacement parts.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Do_not_let_the_cable_become_a_second_mounting_system\"><\/span>Do not let the cable become a second mounting system<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>The photographed C3Z-D100N has an integral cable outlet. A taut cable can load the sensor body or pull an adjustable bracket away from its intended position. Provide separate cable support on the fixed machine structure, with enough local freedom for the required adjustment and removal procedure.<\/p>\n<p>Keep the cable away from moving carriers, sharp edges and the optical path. Do not assume that a general-purpose cable tie establishes a rated strain-relief system, or that the cable is suitable for repeated flexing in an energy chain. Ask for the actual cable specification when continuous motion, cleaning chemicals or unusual temperatures are involved. A bracket that protects alignment does not establish the cable&#8217;s environmental suitability.<\/p>\n<figure data-image-role=\"application_b\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.wehopower.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/02-application-b-68.png\" alt=\"C3Z Sensor Bracket Selection: Keep Alignment, Cable Support and Service Access Stable  title=\" width=\"1536\" height=\"1024\" c3z sensor bracket selection: keep cable support and service access stable title=\"\"><figcaption>A different parts-shuttle arrangement preserves the target gap and a fixed mounting reference.

Decide which feature establishes the final position: a machine datum, a documented bracket location or a repeatable adjustment procedure. The choice depends on whether operators change target size frequently or whether the detection position should stay fixed for months.<\/p>\n<p>A compact, well-supported bracket is often easier to keep consistent than a long cantilever. This is a mechanical design consideration, not a published C3Z vibration rating. If the station vibrates, assess the complete assembly under representative conditions rather than accepting the sensor body alone as proof of stability.<\/p>\n<figure data-image-role=\"product_detail\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.wehopower.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/03-product-detail-67.png\" alt=\"C3Z Sensor Bracket Selection: Keep Alignment, Cable Support and Service Access Stable  title=\" width=\"1536\" height=\"1024\" c3z sensor bracket selection: keep cable support and service access stable title=\"\"><figcaption>Original product photograph: identify the full model and the existing fixing points before selecting an accessory.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Verify_the_position_after_tightening\"><\/span>Verify the position after tightening<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Align the sensor with the real target, secure the assembly using the applicable instructions and then repeat the target-present and target-absent checks.
