Glue installation
Mechanical installation, Airius vibration sensorS
There are two ways to mechanically install Airius vibration sensors, either by
screw installation or glue installation. Screw installation is recommended, if
possible. Position the sensor so that the sensor performs measurements in an
optimal manner while having good LTE-M signal strength.
Screw installation
1. Drill a screw hole where the sensor should be placed.
2. Drill a counterbore with 30 mm diameter on the machine.
3. Align the longest flat side of the installation foot with the x-axis of the
intended measurement direction.
4. Screw the installation foot onto the machine. See table for screw torque.
5. Screw the sensor onto the installation foot. See table for sensor torque.
6. If necessary, adjust the installation foot so that the sensor’s markings
align with the intended measurement directions.
7. If installing AIR15, connect an M12 connector to power the sensor.
Glue installation
1. Drill a counterbore with 30 mm diameter on the machine where the sensor
should be placed.
2. Screw the sensor onto the installation foot. Tightening torque: 7 Nm.
3. Apply glue (Loctite 326) and activator (Loctite 7649) to the installation foot.
4. Make sure that the sensor’s markings align with the intended measurement
directions. Press the sensor onto the flat surface. Hold steady for three minutes.
5. If installing AIR15, connect an M12 connector to power the sensor.
NOTE:
There are markings for z, x, y
on the sensor, indicating the directions
of the measurements.
