Installation
When choosing a mounting method, consider closely the advantages and disadvantages of each technique.
Typical mounting types are stud, direct adhesive, adhesive mounting base and magnetic mounting base. Since
the frequency response is limited to 1 kHz on the 640/641, any of the four methods can be used without seriously
affecting the data values. The mounting method might affect some of the 645/646 series because of the
increased frequency response.
Direct Adhesive Mount Procedure
For restrictions of space or for convenience, most sensors (with the exception of integral stud models) can be
adhesive-mounted directly to the machine surface.
STEP 1
Prepare a smooth, flat surface. A minimum surface finish of 63 µin [0.0016 mm] generally works best.
STEP 2
Place a small portion of adhesive on the underside of the sensor. Firmly press down on the top of the
assembly to displace any adhesive. Be aware that excessive amounts of adhesive can make sensor removal
difficult.
