Abstract
A sensor mounting for a sensor for object detection includes a housing for the sensor, a holder on which the housing is pivotably held, an adjusting device for an angular orientation of the housing and an angular gear mechanism for controlling the adjusting device. The angular gear mechanism includes a drive wheel and a driven wheel, the drive wheel being connected to an engagement contour for the transmission of torque to the drive wheel, and a gear mechanism housing of the angular gear mechanism being set up so as to permit mounting of the drive wheel at different sides of the angular gear mechanism.
