ABSTRACT:
A mounting arrangement for vibration transducers such as accelerometer sensors particularly suited for adverse environments as may be encountered with machine tool components and the like. A mounting base is permanently fixed to a vibratory surface to be monitored. This cylindrical base incorporates an annular retaining groove formed in its side surface which cooperates with an annular resilient band which is discontinuous to provide ends which, in turn, may be drawn together when the band is constricted by an external clamp. The band includes a stud ring which engages the groove of the mounting base and then permits facile engagement of a transducer base having a V-shaped groove configured at the lowermost portion thereof. The retainer ring or band also incorporates a detent ring which engages the groove of the transducer base. A hose clamp or the like then is used to constrict the resilient annular band to drive the transducer into a compressive relationship with the top surface of the mounting base. A cable clamp may be employed which serves to retain armor cladding over communications cable emanating from the transducer and is removably retained in position by the hose clamp.
