■ Mounting the sensor head
● Mounting directly to the jig
Before mounting the sensor head directory to the jig, create a hole
in the jig. Attach the sensor head using the optional head mounting
bracket sold separately. A mounting bracket is provided with the
GT2-P12KF/P12F/H12K(L)F/H12(L)F as standard. Attach it with the
supplied nut.
1
Cut the jig to create a sensor head mounting hole referring to the
illustration below.
2
Insert the tightening sleeve into the hole (from the Chamfered side),
and loosely tighten with the nut.
3
Insert the sensor head in the tightening sleeve. While securing the tightening
sleeve with the included key wrench, tighten the nut with a separate wrench.
4
Rotate the dust boot so that the side line is straight. (Models other
than GT2-PA12K/PA12)
Check with the spindle pushed in.
● Using mounting bracket F
1
Refer to the illustration below and cut the jig to create a sensor
head mounting hole.
2
Loosen the screw on the side of mounting bracket F using the
supplied hexagonal wrench.
3
Align mounting bracket F with the hole made in step 1 and
secure it using the supplied hexagonal wrench.
4
Insert the sensor head, and tighten the screw loosened in step
2 using the supplied hexagonal wrench to secure. The
recommended tightening torque is 0.6 to 0.8 N•m. Make sure
that the dust boot does not obstruct the metal plating that
mounting bracket F is attached to.
● Mounting on the side of a surface
When mounting to the side of a GT2-P12K(L)/P12(L)/PA12K/PA12/
H12K(L)/H12(L)/A12K(L)/A12(L) unit, use the optional head
mounting bracket B (OP-76875).
NOTICE
In the illustration on the left, if the nut is fully tightened
when the sensor head is not yet inserted, the fixture
will become deformed.
NOTICE
Tightening the nut while fixing the sensor head may
lead to damage.
• The tightening torque for mounting bracket A (OP-
76874), mounting bracket C (OP-84396), and the
nuts supplied with GT2-H12K(L)F/H12(L)F/P12KF/
P12F is between 5 and 7 N m (the recommended
tightening torque is 5 N m). Apply tightening torque
between 15 and 18 N m (20 to 23 N m when using
the GT2-A32/A50) to head mounting bracket D (OP-
84327). Use the wrench that matches the nut width.
• Care must be taken not to damage the dust boot
when tightening.

NOTICE
When mounting the
GT2-H32L facing
upward, be sure to
use the mounting
holes on the side of
the sensor head. If
the sensor head is
mounted using head
mounting bracket D,
the spindle may not
fully extend.

NOTICE
If the dust boot is not straight, it becomes easier to
damage when the spindle is moved.
NOTICE
• Make sure that the dust boot does not become
damaged during the procedure.
• When loosening the screw with the hexagonal
wrench, insert the long end of the hexagonal
wrench into the hex screw and rotate the small end
with your hand.
• Do not forcibly tighten the hex screw.
• Cannot be used with GT2-P12KF/P12F/H***/A***.
