Adhesive Stud Mount - IMI SENSORS HT640B01 Installation And Operating Manual

Adhesive Stud Mount Procedure Adhesive Stud Mount Procedure
Adhesive mounting is often used for temporary installation or when the machine surface cannot be adequately
prepared for stud mounting. Adhesives like hot glue or wax work well for temporary mounts; two-part epoxies and
quick-bonding gels provide a more permanent mount.
Note: Adhesively mounted sensors often exhibit a reduction in high-frequency range. Generally, smooth
surfaces and stiff adhesives provide the best frequency response. Contact the factory for recommended epoxies.
This method involves attaching a base to the machine surface, then securing the sensor to the base. This allows
for easy removal of the accelerometer.
STEP 1 Prepare a smooth, flat mounting surface. A minimum surface finish of 63 µin [0,00016 mm] generally
works best.
STEP 2 Stud-mount the sensor to the appropriate adhesive mounting base according to the guidelines set forth
in Steps 2 and 3 of the Standard Stud Mount Procedure.
STEP 3 Place a small portion of adhesive on the underside of the mounting base. Firmly press down on the
assembly to displace any extra adhesive remaining under the base.
