o Surface roughness no greater than 0.8 µm (32 µin.).
o When fitting, ensure there is no gap between the mounted sensor and
the mounting surface.
• For adhesive stud mounting, remove paint, clean and apply the adhesive.
Apply activator to the stud base, position and apply pressure until the
adhesive cures.
To minimise any sensitivity to pick-up from nearby mains powered equipment or
switching from frequency inverters, the use of direct mounting or an electrically
conductive adhesive is recommended to ensure a good earth connection to the
sensor base.
Note that the mounting detail of the IMx-1 sensor is identical to the SKF Wireless
Machine Condition Sensor, CMWA 8800, and being as the IMx-1 is a little shorter,
the same tools and similar procedures can be applied.
The sensor base, sensor mounting detail and typical mounting studs are shown in
the figure:

studs

The sensor mounting nut is 6-sided, “6-point”. When fitting the sensor to the stud,
always apply torque to that mounting nut rather than using the main sensor housing.

data and spanner sizes.
