Description

The EasyMech Perpendicular Bracket provides a dedicated mechanical solution for mounting Sharp Microelectronics infrared distance sensors. Its 90-degree orientation is ideal for applications requiring perpendicular distance measurement, such as object detection on a moving platform or obstacle avoidance in robotics. The bracket’s design ensures the sensor body is held securely and positioned correctly for accurate ranging.

To prevent electrical shorts, as the sensor housing is conductive, the package includes non-conductive nylon M3 bolts and nuts paired with acrylic spacers. This isolates the sensor from the metal bracket. Separate M3 steel bolts and nuts are provided for attaching the bracket itself to your chassis, robot frame, or test fixture.

Key Features

  • Perpendicular Mounting: Holds sensor at a 90-degree angle to the mounting surface for direct forward-facing measurement.
  • Electrically Safe Design: Includes nylon hardware and spacers to insulate the conductive sensor body from the metal bracket.
  • Durable Mild Steel Construction: 1mm thick MS material offers a high strength-to-weight ratio and good stability.
  • Complete Mounting Kit: Comes with all necessary M3 bolts, nuts, and acrylic spacers for both sensor and bracket installation.
  • Lightweight Profile: Weighs only 3 grams, minimizing added mass to small robotic or mobile platforms.
  • Versatile Compatibility: Designed specifically for Sharp Microelectronics GP2Y0A21YK0F, GP2Y0A02YK0F, and similar IR sensor modules.

Applications

  • Robotics obstacle avoidance and proximity sensing with Sharp Microelectronics IR sensors.
  • Precise perpendicular distance measurement in automated guided vehicles (AGVs).
  • Mounting IR sensors for object detection on 3D printer heads or CNC machines.
  • Educational and prototyping projects involving Arduino or Raspberry Pi-based rangefinding.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is the bracket compatible with all Sharp Microelectronics IR sensors?

This bracket is specifically designed for the common Sharp Microelectronics GP2Y0A series IR distance sensors (e.g., GP2Y0A21YK0F, GP2Y0A02YK0F). It uses standard M3 mounting holes. Please verify your specific sensor's dimensions and hole spacing match the bracket's pattern before purchase.

Why does the kit include nylon bolts and spacers?

The housing of Sharp Microelectronics IR sensors is electrically conductive. Using metal bolts to mount it directly to this steel bracket would create a short circuit, potentially damaging the sensor. The nylon bolts and acrylic spacers provide essential electrical insulation, ensuring safe and reliable operation.

How do I mount the sensor and bracket?

Use the provided nylon bolts, nuts, and spacers to attach the sensor to the bracket. The spacers go between the sensor and bracket. Then, use the included steel M3 bolts and nuts to secure the assembled bracket to your robot chassis, platform, or project enclosure.
