Picture 23: Vibration acceleration sensor glued on a mounting base
If the glue of the mounting base is hardened, the sensor can be tightened as described in the
screw connection chapter. It is recommended to use sensor cable as short as possible. A
bending of the sensor cable must be avoided.

Mechanical installation of displacement sensors
A displacement sensor measures the displacement of its mounting position to the surface of
the measurement object. The sensor should be adjusted perpendicular to the measurement
object. The reference distance can be adjusted with the help of the housing nuts. A fine
adjustment is recommended with a gauge. Afterwards the housing nut has to be screwed with
a torque wrench to 5 Nm and finally rechecking the reference distance.
Note:
The maximum torque of 10 Nm must not be exceeded. A Torque above this level can
result in a destroyed thread or a failure of the sensor.
Picture 24 shows the installation of two displacement sensors of type S-Bi1,5-EG08-LU at a
wheel swing arm of a swiveling bolster. In this case the sensor should be adjusted in the middle
of the track, ideally vertically to the wheel. Deviations up to 45° from the vertical position are
tolerable.
