Mounting position on machine
Ideally the sensors should be mounted in the vicinity of the bearing
arrangements of the machine, if possible in a radial layout
(in the load zone). The precise mounting location is not too critical;
a sensor can still be located effectively at some distance from
the ideal position. If, for example, the bearing area of a motor is
not accessible, the sensor can alternatively be fixed to a suitable
flat area on the motor housing or even at the base of the motor.
If possible the sensor should not be shielded on several sides by
metal parts.
The vibration monitoring process measures the structure-borne
sound of machines, which is why there needs to be a fixed connec-
tion to the bearing arrangements. This means that machine cladding
components are not suitable as a mounting location.
When attaching sensors to the machine it helps to use the over-
