MOTOR FIN MOUNT PADS FOR AMP SENSORS

CTC’s Motor Fin Mount Pads offer a specialized solution tailored for fin-cooled motors that lack direct access to the bearing housing. Developed in 1995 after extensive analysis of hundreds of motor designs, this patented product has remained unchanged due to its proven reliability. For over two decades, it has been a trusted tool among vibration analysts.

Each pad includes a 1/4-28 threaded hole for stud mounting and is magnetically responsive, making it ideal for route-based vibration measurements.

Choosing the correct Motor Fin Mount Pad depends on the spacing and dimensions of your motor’s fins. The probe must fit snugly between the fins, with its base making contact with the motor casing to ensure proper vibration transmission to the sensor. For motors with fin spacing greater than ½ inch, CTC offers pads with a ½-inch thickness to minimize adhesive use.

To install, apply adhesive to both the sides and bottom of the probe section (note: the surface is textured to improve adhesion). Press the pad firmly between the fins, ensuring the bottom of the probe touches the motor casing and the pad sits flush against the fins.
