Fig. 1 Dimensions

Mechanic

• Weight
  • approx. 130 g (without cable)
• Housing material
  • Stainless steel 1.4301

Application
The AS-068 is mainly used for measurement of vibration acceleration at rotating machines such as turbines, pumps, compressors, etc.

Installation and Commissioning

Installation and commissioning primarily concern work on electrical equipment. These works may be performed exclusively by electricians or workers instructed and supervised by an electrician in accordance with electrotechnical regulations/directives.

Change of System Specification

Any change of system specification has its effects on monitoring process with stationary systems and on the measuring sequence with portable measuring systems.
Exclusively use sensor as specified in data sheet. Any use other than specified is considered inappropriate.
Mounted sensors must not be used as steps.

Sensors and the cables are used in a way not described in the relevant user manuals, function and protection may be impaired and serious personal damage, death or serious, irreversible injuries may result.

• Handle the systems with care in order to prevent damage to the systems or personal damage due to falling.
• Use system exclusively as originally intended. Any use other than originally intended is prohibited. Brüel & Kjær Vibro does not assume any liability for damages resulting from inappropriate use. The user is solely responsible. For originally intended use, see system documentation.
• Ensure that system is exposed only to admissible environmental influences specified in technical system data sheet.
• Maintain electrical equipment in regular intervals. Remedy defects, e. g. loose wires, defective connectors, immediately

Hot surfaces
In line with the user manuals, sensors and cables can be operated in extensive ambient temperature ranges, whereby they can become hot through self-heating on housing walls and can produce burning. When mounted at external heat or cold sources (e.g. machine parts), systems, sensors and cables can adopt dangerous temperatures, whereby burning, among other things, can occur in the event of contact .

Recommendations to User
If the use of the system in conjunction with machines or plant sections can produce risks outside of Brüel & Kjær Vibro’s responsibility, the user is expected to prepare and distribute safety technical instructions or warnings and to ensure that the personnel concerned has received and understood same.

Note
If system is integrated into a machine or designed to be assembled, commissioning must not take place until the machine the system is to be integrated in conforms to the EC directives.

Measuring Principle

The acceleration sensor operates according to the piezo-electric compression principle. A piezo-ceramic disc and an internal sensor mass form a spring-mass system in the sensor.

If this system is subjected to vibrations the mass produces an alternating force on the ceramic disc. As a result of the piezo effect this produces an electrical charge that is proportional to vibration acceleration.

An integrated amplifier converts this charge signal into a usable voltage signal.

Mounting Coupling General rule:

The weight of the acceleration sensor should always be lower at least by a factor ten than the weight of the object onto which it is mounted.

The acceleration sensor is an additional parasitic mass which loads the object on which it is mounted and this changes the vibration behaviour if it is too large.

Mounting of acceleration sensor
The acceleration sensor requires a friction-locked, contact resonance-free, rigid mounting to the object, particularly for measurements at high frequencies.

• The sensor is to be attached using the supplied threaded stud, either:

Selectable with:

• Threaded stud M8 x 1,25 x 14 or
• Threaded stud M8 / 1/4“ 28 UNF

The sensor can be mounted in any position.

Fig. 4 Mounting

• The mounting surface in the area of the sensor must be flat and machined.

• Provide a size M8, resp. 1/4“ threaded hole 12 mm deep in the surface of the machine.

• Apply a thin film of silicone grease on the mounting surface to prevent contact resonance.

• Screw the M8, resp. 1/4“, stud into the mounting surface in accordance with Fig. 4 and secure it with adhesive, e.g. LOCTITE 243 medium strength, or LOCTITE 270 high strength

• Maintain a max. length of the threaded stud 5 mm for acceleration sensors

• Screw the sensor onto the threaded stud.
  Observe max. tightening torque in accordance with stud.

• Recommended maximum torque for the supplied threaded stud is 3,5 Nm.
