What restraints are there? Warranty issues re drilling and tapping
Best method where conditions allow is to drill and tap a thread
directly on the machine so that an accelerometer with an integral
1/4-28UNF mounting thread for example can be screwed into place.
The same drill and tap method can be applied when using a separate
mounting stud and then connecting the accelerometer to the stud.Further options include Glue and portable magnet
The mounting method will affect the Frequency Response as shown in the diagram below.
