2.2 How to install
(1) To install, use M1.6 screw (recommended (1) To install, use M1.6 screw (recommended
tensile strength ranking [12.9], longer than 6 tensile strength ranking [12.9], longer than 6
mm*). Drill holes in the measuring object. The mm*). Drill holes in the measuring object. The
holes' effective screw depth should be longer screw depth should be longer
than the mounting screws, L1≦L2. The
distance between the holes should be 7±0.1 distance between the holes should be 7±0.1
mm. (Figure 2-2)
*To install the AMA-A into the 3-axis angular rate

damaged. Take great care to handle it properly.
When installing, carefully avoid external force such When installing, carefully avoid external force such
as bending or twisting on the transducer. It is ideal as bending or twisting on the transducer. It is ideal
that when installed, the transducer is in complete that when installed, the transducer is in complete
close contact with the measuring object. close contact with the measuring object.
If the transducer is installed using an adhesive,
excessive force applied to remove it may deform the excessive force applied to remove it may deform the
transducer's cabinet or cause failure of the transducer's cabinet or cause failure of the
transducer. If the transducer is to be used repeatedly, transducer. If the transducer is to be used repeatedly,
be sure to install it using screws. be sure to install it using screws.
The grounding is an effective measures a The grounding is an effective measures against noise
and failure of the transducer caused by electric and failure of the transducer caused by electric
charge. (Figure 2-3)
