080A Series Mounting Clips For Accelerometers

PCB's Easy-Mount clips allow for practical and economical installation of accelerometers in the modal analysis and structural testing of automobiles, aircraft, satellites, trains, and other large channel-count vibration testing applications. 

PCB's Easy-Mount clips may be attached to the test structure using double-sided tape or adhesive. Once the clips are installed, accelerometers may simply be snapped into the clips to make vibration measurements. More measurement points and orientations can be accommodated with fewer sensors by installing Easy-Mount clips at all desired points, and populating them with as many sensors as are available. Sensors are then moved to remaining clip locations until all measurements are accomplished. Triaxial measurements can be made with single axis, cubic-shaped accelerometers by changing axis orientation for successive measurements. 

Swivel-style Easy-Mount clips permit sensors installed on curved or sloped surfaces to be aligned along the desired plane and axis. These clips both rotate and pivot to provide flexibility in alignment.
