Stud Mounting
The stud on both units is an integral part of the mounting base and
thus not removable. The following guidelines should be followed
when mounting shock accelerometers.
1.
Drill and tap an adequate hole to ensure a flush mount of the
accelerometer. Make sure the stud does not bottom out. A
chamfer should be machined at the top of the mounting hole
to ensure that the base of the accelerometer makes full
contact with the mounting surface (See table 3).
2.
Completely clean the surface prior to mounting.
3.
Apply a thin coat of silicon grease to both the accelerometer
and mounting surface.
4.
Always use the proper sockets and a torque wrench when
installing accelerometers. Tighten the accelerometer to the
torque specified on the individually supplied calibration
certificate or as specified in Table 2. Do Not Over Tighten.
