Stud option for mounting vibration sensors and accelerometers

18 March 2009

Monitran has devised a stud option for mounting its vibration sensors and accelerometers. The option sees the sensor bonding to the stud via a grub screw, and is ideally suited to applications where the vibration sensor has an integral cable, as opposed to connector, and is not necessarily a permanent fixture.

Compared to traditional screw-type studs, the mounting option overcomes the risk of compromising the stud's contact with the machine to which it is fixed. Specifically, when using a spanner to tighten a sensor to a stud it is possible to sheer the stud-machine screw. It is similarly possible to damage the machine-stud bond in the case of adhesive studs.
