4394665 | Genuine Cummins® Sensor Bracket For EPA17 15L ISX/QSX

• Correct Positioning & Alignment

  • Ensures the sensor is aimed in the right direction (e.g., toward a target object or area).

  • Maintains consistent distance from the object being measured or detected.

• Secure Mounting

  • Prevents the sensor from moving due to vibration, impact, or gravity.

  • Keeps it fixed even in challenging environments (industrial, automotive, outdoor).

• Protection

  • Reduces the risk of mechanical damage or wear.

  • Some brackets offer partial shielding from debris, water, or other hazards.

• Ease of Installation & Maintenance

  • Brackets make it easier to install, remove, or adjust the sensor.

  • Helpful in systems that require regular calibration or part replacement.

• Adaptability

  • Many brackets are adjustable, so you can fine-tune sensor angle, height, or distance as needed.

  • Some are designed for different surfaces (walls, poles, equipment frames).

1. Sensor Misalignment

• Sensor is pointing in the wrong direction

• Inaccurate or inconsistent readings

• Missed detections or false triggers

2. Loose or Wobbly Mounting

• Sensor shifts or vibrates during operation

• Makes noise or rattles

• Affects accuracy, especially in high-precision or motion-sensitive applications

3. Physical Damage

• Bracket is bent, cracked, or corroded

• Warping or deformation over time

• Sensor hangs or droops instead of staying fixed

4. Improper Fit

• Sensor doesn’t sit securely in the bracket

• Bracket doesn't match the sensor model or mounting holes

• Uses makeshift attachments (e.g., tape, zip ties)

5. Poor Material Quality

• Rusting (for metal brackets in outdoor or humid environments)

• UV degradation (for plastic brackets exposed to sunlight)

• Brittle plastic that snaps easily

6. Limited Adjustability

• Can't fine-tune the angle, height, or position

• No way to recalibrate after installation

• Fixed mount causes issues in dynamic or variable settings

7. Interference with Sensor Operation

• Bracket blocks part of the sensor’s field of view (especially for cameras, LiDAR, or motion sensors)

• Reflective surfaces cause signal bounce or false readings (for IR or ultrasonic sensors)
