enDAQ Mounting Kit - S & W Series

enDAQ Mounting Kit In order to ensure high quality data, an enDAQ Data Logger must be mounted securely to the surface on which the vibrations will be measured. There is more than one way to mount an enDAQ and collect data successfully from a vibrating source. An incorrect mounting configuration could result in erroneous data recordings and a user should ensure the enDAQ is mounted in an appropriate manner before recording begins. enDAQ suggests adding the mounting kit to your order to ensure optimal mounting for your enDAQ Data Logger Kit Contains: Qty Item Description 4 4-40 x 7/8" Cap Screw S Series Mounting Screws 4 10-32 x 1/2" Cap Screw W8 Mounting Screw 2 Scrapers Cleaning Device 1 .75 in x 15 ft 3M Style 950 Adhesive Transfer Tape Mounting Background The importance mounting plays in accurately measuring vibration and shock cannot be understated - it is more important than the sensor quality itself. Visit our blog on accelerometer mounting for more details, but a frequency sensitivity plot is shown for some common mounting methods. Handheld probes are only accurate to about 100 Hz while magnetic mounts can achieve close to 800 Hz. Bolting and adhesives have frequency responses above 1 kHz, but this is heavily influenced by torque and compression/setting of the adhesive. An improper mounting method can significantly amplify the results! More Mounting Information Visit our Support Site for more information on: Mounting Your Sensor.
