upon the coupling type or time constant of the external 
charge  amplifying  device.    This  characteristic  may  be 
fixed or adjustable, depending on the charge amplifier.  
Please  refer  to  the  appropriate  charge  amplifier 
specification  sheet  for  information  on  low-frequency 
characteristics.

4.1 STUD MOUNT 

This  mounting  technique  requires  smooth,  flat  contact 
surfaces  for  proper  operation  and  is  recommended  for 
permanent and/or secure installations.  Stud mounting is 
also recommended when testing at high frequencies. 
 

Note:

  

Do NOT attempt mounting on curved, rough, or 

uneven  surfaces,  as  the  potential  for  misalignment  and 
limited  contact  surface  may  significantly  reduce  the 
sensor’s upper operating frequency range.

 Mounting Surface Preparation 

 
STEP 1:  

First, prepare a smooth, flat mounting surface, 

then  drill  and  tap  a  mounting  hole  in  the  center  of  this 
area  as  shown  in  Figure  2  and  in  accordance  with  the 

Installation  Drawing 

for  the  specific  sensor  that  is 

being mounted

 
A  precision-machined  mounting  surface  with  a 
minimum  finish  of  63 

in  (0.00016  mm)  is 

recommended.  (If it is not possible to properly prepare 
the  test  structure  mounting  surface,  consider  adhesive 
mounting  as  a  possible  alternative.)  Inspect  the  area, 
checking  that  there  are  no  burrs  or  other  foreign 
particles interfering with the contact surface. 
 

STEP  2:   

Wipe  clean  the  mounting  surface  and  spread 

on  a  light  film  of  grease,  oil,  or  similar  coupling  fluid 
prior to installation.

 Mounting Surface Lubrication 

 
Adding 

coupling 

fluid 

improves 

vibration 

transmissibility  by  filling  small  voids  in  the  mounting 
surface and increasing the mounting stiffness.  For semi-
permanent mounting, substitute epoxy or another type of 
adhesive. 
 

STEP 3:

  Screw the mounting stud into  the base of the 

accelerometer  and  hand-tighten.  Then,  screw  the 
sensor/stud  assembly  into  the  prepared  tapped  hole and 
tighten  to  the  recommended  mounting  torque  as 
indicated on the 

Installation Drawing

 

Note: It is important to use a torque wrench during this 
step.    Under-torquing  the  sensor  may  not  adequately 
couple  the  device;  over-torquing  may  result  in  stud 
failure.

 

 

4.2 ADHESIVE MOUNT 

Adhesive  mounting  is  often  used  for  temporary 
installation  or  when  the  test  object  surface  cannot  be 
adequately  prepared  for  stud mounting.  Adhesives like 
hot glue and wax work well for temporary mounts; two- 
part  epoxies  and  quick-bonding  gels  provide  a  more 
permanent mount. 
 

Note:  Adhesively  mounted  sensors  often  exhibit  a 
reduction in high-frequency range.   Generally, smooth 
surfaces  and  stiff  adhesives  provide  the  best  frequency 
response.
