Installation in Motors with Fins

In some types of motors it might be useful to use other types of mounting pads. One example is motors
with cooling fins. Please consult ABB for using these types of pads.
One example of pad for motors with cooling fins:
1. Prepare the cooling fins on motor for mounting by scraping or grinding any paint or debris between
cooling fins.
2. Apply glue to the sides and bottom of the probe portion of the motor fin mount pad.
3. Place the motor fin mount pad between the motor fins at the desired location.
a. Correct motor fin mount selection is important.
b. The probe must fit in between the motor fins and the bottom of the probe must contact
the motor casing.
4. Firmly press the motor fin mount pad into place, ensuring the bottom of the motor fin mount pad
is touching the motor casing (this is the contact area where the vibration is transferred from the
motor to the sensor).
a. The tip of the motor fin mount pad should be as flat against the motor casing as possible.
b. The motor fin mount pad should not be resting on the top of the fins. If it does, then the
bottom of the probe may not be in direct contact with the motor casing.
The motor fin mount pads are not provided as part of standard supply. This has to be
procured separately by LSC, if customer needs it. Kindly ensure proper inspection of
site conditions to include fin mount pad before submitting offer.
