  • Publication number: 20240142384
    Abstract: A sensor positioning device, having a holding module, with a sensor receptacle, fastening element and spring element, the sensor receptacle being mounted movably relative to the fastening element along a compensating axis. The spring is arranged between the fastening element and the sensor receptacle to cooperate therewith, to create a restoring force during movement of the receptacle relative to the fastening element. A measurement connector with an abutment is configured for arrangement onto a process container, and is configured for releasable arrangement on the holding module. The sensor positioning device is configured such that, when the measurement connector is arranged on the holding module, the sensor receptacle is movable relative to the fastening element along the axis, and a pressing force of the sensor receptacle onto the abutment of the measurement connector is created by the spring. A sensor unit, for turbidity measurement, is provided having the sensor positioning device.
