Reply to "instrumenting motors and fan bearings"

REJ gave a good discription for setting up existing motors that we have used with great success. For new motors we specify that the motors be tapped so we can directly mount the accels with lock tight and go from there. The motor guys are getting good at providing this modifcation for the PdM guys out there. I wouldn't be surprized if you see in the future motors/gearboxes and pumps tapped for PdM monitoring right from the factory. They supply thermocouples now why not vibration instruments?
