Overview

Accelerometer Mounting Mastery by Kemo Ltd

Discover professional-grade dynamic testing solutions from Kemo Ltd. Explore an extensive selection of accelerometer mounting studs and sensor mounting accessories. With decades of experience in dynamics testing, we provide expert guidance to ensure optimal data quality with minimal noise and errors.

Correct accelerometer mounting is a critical part of vibration measurement — get it wrong and the resulting errors are silently analysed by your software or monitoring system, often without you realising. Our accessory range includes mounting studs, mounting magnets, petrowax and adhesive bases, available in both isolated and non-isolated variants. Each is meticulously crafted to ensure precise, secure mounting and accurate data capture.

For field-based testing, our handheld accelerometer calibrator VTCAL1 is the perfect companion — operating at a fixed 1 grms amplitude and 159.2 Hz, it confirms correct accelerometer operation prior to testing. Compact, battery-powered, and supplied with its own carry case.

Count on Kemo Ltd for all your accelerometer mounting, sensor mounting and accessory needs — professional-grade solutions that exceed expectations.
