1. A sensor positioning device (1), comprising:
a holding module (2), which has a sensor receptacle (3), a fastening element and a spring (5);
the sensor receptacle (3) having a cavity for receiving a sensor (6);
the sensor receptacle (3) is mounted movably in relation to the fastening element along a compensating axis;
the spring (5) is arranged between the fastening element and the sensor receptacle (3) and cooperates therewith, in order to create a restoring force during a movement of the sensor receptacle (3) relative to the fastening element along the compensating axis;
a measurement connector (7) with an abutment (8), the measurement connector (7) being configured for arrangement onto a process container (9);
the measurement connector (7) is configured for releasable arrangement on the holding module (2); and
wherein the sensor positioning device (1) is configured such that, when the measurement connector (7) is arranged on the holding module (2), the sensor receptacle (3) is movable relative to the fastening element along the compensating axis, and a pressing force of the sensor receptacle (3) onto the abutment (8) of the measurement connector (7) is created by the spring (5).
