Sensor positioning for installation
4.4 SENSOR POSITIONING FOR INSTALLATION ON ROLLING BEARINGS
The WEGscan must be installed in a position close to the rolling bearings. A recommendation, if possible, is
to follow what is described in ISO 20816 (Mechanical vibration - Measurement and evaluation of machine
vibration). However, the WEGscan can be installed in a more convenient position. In this case, the sensors

can be fixed using adhesive, either applying it directly to the WEGscan or using an intermediate base.
(a) Electric motor
(b) Pedestal bearing
(c) Housing-type bearing

bearings
Figure 4.7 also shows examples of sensor mounting on bearings, using the fixation with the aid of an
intermediate base.
