Allen-Bradley X871A-BRN12 Right Angle Bracket

The Allen-Bradley X871A-BRN12 Right Angle Bracket is a purpose-built mounting accessory designed to position a 12 mm diameter proximity sensor at a precise 90-degree orientation, enabling compact installations where space is limited. Manufactured from nickel-plated brass, the bracket provides robust corrosion resistance and stable alignment for demanding industrial environments, helping maintain accurate sensing despite vibration or bending loads. The part is cataloged as 871A-BRN12 (some listings refer to it with the X prefix, e.g., X871A-BRN12), reflecting its role as a right-angle mounting solution for cylindrical 12 mm sensors. Its compact geometry anchors securely to a flat surface while guiding the sensor body into the intended offset plane, simplifying mounting in control panels, conveyors, and automation cells. Common applications include proximity sensing on tubular sensors in manufacturing lines, packaging equipment, and material-handling systems, where a right-angle mount keeps cables and housings clear and maintains easy access for field adjustments. The nickel-plated brass construction combines strength with good wear characteristics, supporting long service life in environments where routine maintenance and sensor repositioning occur. This bracket is specifically designed for 12 mm sensing tubes and should be selected when a rigid, low-profile right-angle mount is required to maintain precise sensor geometry without altering the sensor's electrical interface.
