Assembly, installation and commissioning Assembly, installation and commissioning Mechanical installation/assembly The measurement of high frequencies and detecting damage to components which are characterized by characteristic damage frequencies in the upper frequency range is directly influenced by the selected assembly technique. Its maximum capacity (sensitivity and degree of increase) is exhibited by the sensor recording vibrations along its central axis, which is indicated by a double-sided arrow (↔) on the sensor.
Ideally sensors are to be screwed directly with the machine. If this option is not available, alternative fastening methods can be used with corresponding assembly adapters (for example, adhesive or magnet adapter). For this case, HYDAC keeps a selection of adapters in its accessories program. The use of assembly adapters causes restrictions in the signal quality –...

Assembly, installation and commissioning Preparations for assembly The preparation of mounting point has a critical influence on the signal quality. For this, a preferably flat area on the surface to be mounted (normally on the machine housing) is to be selected, which enables the preparation of an assembly point with a diameter of 32 mm.

Assembly, installation and commissioning 1. Select a mounting position on an even spot as close as possible to the vibration source or the component to be monitored (e.g. bearing seat). 2. Prepare a flat, smooth and unpainted surface (e.g. sanding and levelling) larger than the contact surface of the vibrations sensor for the sensor assembly scheduled later.

Glossary Glossary Absolute sensor Piezo based IEPE-accelerometer belong to the category "seismic absolute sensor". These detect their measured values (acceleration) in relation to a stationary or uniformly moving reference system - such as e.g. a machine. The sensor forms a vibratory "spring-mass system", which consists of a (seismic) mass, a spring (the piezo element) and partially a damping.
In addition to a data logger for connecting various sensors from the data visualization, analysis and system administration software FluMoSexpert, the MCMS can also be combined with other services provided by HYDAC (for example, the preparation of system status reports).
Glossary Piezo element / piezo electrical effect crystal quartz), which has a A piezo element consists of piezo ceramic (SiO piezoelectric effect. In the case of IEPE sensors, the direct piezo electric effect comes into effect. If, in the case of a piezo based accelerometer, one exerts force on its piezo element (for example, by a vibrating / accelerated seismic mass), the charge carriers located in the piezo element are displaced and an electrical voltage is formed on the opposite sides of the element.
