9 Installation of Magnetic Field Sensor (MFS)

9.1 MFS Location

The MFS is 3-axis sensor and measures axial, radial and tangential directions. When mounting Magnetic

Field Sensor (MFS), it is important to locate the best positions on the motor. Install the MFS sensor with

Y as Axial direction i.e. parallel to motor shaft and closer to drive end side of motor.

9.2 Mounting of MFS Sensor

Mount the MFS sensor by gluing the sensor enclosure directly on the motor. The enclosure is made from

plastic material. Use of Loctite® 407™ is recommended.

Procedure for gluing the enclosure:

1. All paint must be removed from the surface. Make sure all paint is grinded and the Sensor is

glued directly on the metal on the motor.

2. Apply glue Loctite® 407™ on the motor surface.

3. Stick the plastic enclosure and put the cable to the DAU.

4. After gluing the sensor, the cable should be anchored to reduce stress at the cable ends. Cables

if allowed to have excessive motion will eventually result in cable metal and adhesive fatigue. The

fatigue causes wire strand breakage, adhesive failure, and results in noisy or broken connections.

5. Use cable ties or clamps to secure cables without being left hanging loose. When securing the

cable, leave enough slack cable to reduce stress on the Magnetic Flux sensor enclosure on the

vibrating machinery. These techniques for cable anchoring are extremely important for machinery

with high displacement amplitudes
