REAL-WORLD MOUNTING OF ACCELEROMETERS FOR MACHINERY MONITORING

Typical accelerometer mounting configurations were evaluated to determine acceptable frequency response and resonant frequencies for each mounting. Basic configurations studied included stud, adhesive, magnetic and quick lock. A hand held probe with varying stinger lengths was also evaluated. In addition, the effects of bad mounting techniques were considered. Frequency ranges and resonances were determined for sensor mounts exposed to rocking, looseness and varying hand pressure.
