Mounting Pads for Accurate and Repeatable Measurements

Our stainless steel mounting pads can be adhesively bonded or welded to machinery surfaces at specific vibration sensor installation points. These pads ensure consistent placement, resulting in more accurate and repeatable measurement data.

  • Tapped mounting pads: Designed for use with stud-mounted accelerometers.
  • Untapped mounting pads: Ideal for magnetically mounted accelerometers or achieving magnetic attraction on non-ferrous surfaces.

Mounting pads enable sensor installations without the need to machine the surface itself, offering both precision and convenience.

Magnetic Mounting Solutions for Vibration Sensors

Rare-Earth Magnetic Bases

IMI Sensors offers magnetic mounting bases featuring powerful rare-earth magnets. These provide:

  • High attraction forces for secure sensor placement
  • Enhanced high-frequency transmissibility
  • Secure attachment for heavier sensors and high-vibration conditions

Rail mount magnetic bases are perfect for curved surfaces, such as motor housings or pipes, and knurled housings allow easy gripping when removing the sensor after measurements.

Spot Face Tools for Surface Preparation

Spot face tools easily mount into a standard drill and are used to create a smooth, flat surface and pilot hole for sensor installation. The pilot hole can then be tapped to match the thread size of the chosen vibration sensor, ensuring optimal mounting conditions.

Epoxy Kits for Secure Accelerometer Mounting

For permanent installations without mechanical fastening:

  • Small epoxy kits: Mount up to approximately 10 sensors.
  • Large epoxy kits: Mount up to approximately 100 sensors.

These kits provide a reliable method for bonding accelerometers and mounting pads to machine structures.

Data Collection Extension Poles for Safe and Efficient Measurements

IMI Sensors' data collection extension poles help technicians collect vibration readings quickly and safely from the ground surface—keeping workers away from hazardous areas, heat sources, or moving machinery.

  • Designed for flexibility across different machines and applications
  • Faster access to hard-to-reach measurement points
  • Improves efficiency of predictive maintenance routes

We also supply custom cables and connectors to seamlessly integrate with any modern vibration analyzer or data collector. High-temperature bushings are provided to match your preferred sensor setup.
