No matter what type of sensor you have, it’s only as good as the mounting you are using. This learning opportunity is aimed at expanding your understanding of different types of mounting techniques, and exploring how it affects your data.
The presenter will provide a detailed examination of collecting vibration data in different ways, share real world vibration measurement data examples from the field, and explain how various mounting techniques will influence the accuracy of vibration data to effectively monitor machine condition and confidently detect faults.
This presentation will also cover why measurements vary, highlight ideal mounting techniques in the field, factors to consider, and why using the wrong mounting should be avoided. If you use the wrong mounting, the result could be inaccurate measurement data or even worse – missing data completely.
You will come away from this presentation with more knowledge on the importance of using optimal mounting, understand what to use, and also know what to avoid in order to obtain accurate and reliable measurements time after time.
