Mounting Accessories

[hayner]

I have recently encountered a situation where, I need to mount some sort of mounting pad on equipment for vibration anaylsis. The type of monitor we are going to use has a temp. probe in the middle, so we can't use pads that have holes. We plan to epoxy the pads to the mounting surface. Any info would be appreciated.

I make my own mounting pads out of austenitic stainless steel (ordinary stainless is not magnetic). Make sure that you machine the upper surface to a fine finish for accel mounting but machine the down side as a "gramaphone" finish so that the epoxy has something to bond to. I usually drill and tap a 1/4" 28 hole for mounting the accels but if you are only using a magnet you don't need this. Make sure that the machine surface that you are mounting on is clean and dry and free from grease.
