Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

A sensor has a receiver device ( 16 ) is configured such that the sensor holder ( 44 ) is rotatable with respect to the installation body ( 14 ) and is adjustable by a telescopic extension or retraction or the sensor holder ( 44 ). The receiver is rotatable with respect to the installation body and tiltable with respect to the installation body, and has clamping elements ( 18 ) for the sensor holder ( 44 ). The clamping elements ( 18 ) can be clamped tight by means of a cap nut ( 20 ) which engages into a thread ( 24 ) of the receiver device ( 16 ). The cap nut ( 20 ) has a first sealing ring ( 30 ) at an opening ( 28 ) and contacting the sensor holder ( 44 ), and has a second sealing ring ( 34 ) at the oppositely disposed opening ( 32 ) and contacting the installation body ( 14 ). The sealing rings ( 30, 34 ) are connected without joints to the cap nut ( 20 ).
