The method of mounting contact-type vibration transducers (accelerometer and velocity transducers) can have a signifi cant infl uence on the sensed vibration signals. The infl uence can be undesirable as it may result in inaccurate data. We will briefl y discuss important mounting considerations for contact-type vibration sensors as related to rotating machinery applications (most of the considerations apply to other applications as well). It will be assumed that a sensor suitable for the particular application has already been (correctly) selected.
