ABSTRACT:
This invention relates to a mounting socket for inductive proximity switches (1) of the type which comprises a number of guide pins (2) for cooperation with the socket when mounting and dismounting the proximity switch in the socket. The mounting socket comprises an inner, cylindric guide surface (10) corresponding to the body of the switch and this surface is provided with a number of guide slots (8), substantially in the longitudinal direction of the socket, for the guide pins (2) of the switch. The mounting socket also comprises a number of spring elements (16, 17, 18) which are arranged to cooperate with the guide pins (2) for locking the proximity switch at a very precisely defined position with respect to the sensed element (28). The spring elements (16, 17, 18) are formed by means of slots (19, 20, 21) having a substantially peripheral extension in a cylindric part (12) of an inner sleeve (5) seated in the housing. The slots (19, 20, 21) are provided with recesses at stop locations (23, 24, 25) corresponding to the guide pins (2) of the proximity switch when the proximity switch is located in its proper, locked position with respect to the sensed element (28).
