Introduction and Safety
Description
The TACTIX™ system is a comprehensive machine health monitoring system used to perform
predictive maintenance of rotating equipment. The system includes hardware to measure and
transmit machine health data, including vibration and temperature, and software to analyze the
data, show historical trending and provide remote alerts when machines require service.
Safety
WARNING:
● The TACTIX™ system is not intended to be used as a personal or facility
safety protection device. Data and alerts are to be used to perform predictive
maintenance only. ProAxion is not liable for any personal injury or facility
damage that results from machine or equipment failures.
● Do not use the TACTIX™ system in hazardous locations where there is the
potential for an explosive environment.
● Before installing the TACTIX™ Sensor on any machinery, ensure that the
machinery is in a de-energized state and follow all safety protocols, including
lock-out / tag-out and user of Personal Protective Equipment (PPE). Failure
to do so may result in severe personal injury or death.
● The TACTIX™ sensor is permanently sealed. The battery is not
rechargeable or replaceable. Do not disassemble, crush, incinerate or heat
heat above 125℃ (257℉).
TACTIX™ Sensor Installation Guide
1. Determine mounting location. Good locations:
a. Are close to the vibration and/or heat source of interest.
i.
Typically this is a bearing within the machine, however it can also be a
gear interface, pump/fan impeller, compressor screw, or other component
where vibration or temperature can indicate and trend machine health.
b. Have good mechanical and thermal communication with the vibration and heat
source of interest.
i.
Usually a rigid metallic structure like a bearing housing or frame. Do not
install on thin walled covers, guards or other structures that can add
resonance vibration.
c. Have a flat or curved surface free of obstructions to support the sensor mounting
face (1.25” diameter).
d. Have enough clearance for the sensor and any installation accessory or tools
i.
Sensor is cylindrical in shape roughly 2” diameter x 4” long.
ii.
If stud-mount, make sure to consider height of spot-face tool (3.3”) and
drill.
iii.
If using the curved surface adapter for epoxy-mounting, the total height of
the sensor increases to 4.3”.
2. Mounting locations for typical machine components:
a. Standard motors​ - mount on the drive-end bearing housing, either radial or axial
to the shaft.
b. Large or critical motors​ - mount an additional sensor on the non-drive-end
bearing housing.
c. Independent pillow-block or double-bearing housings​ - mount onto the bearing
housing surface, either radial or axial to the shaft.
d. Standard gearboxes with unibody housing or frame​ - mount close to input or
output shaft drive-end bearing, either radial or axial to the output shaft.
e. Large or critical gearboxes​ - mount sensors at both drive-end and non-drive-end
bearings for each stage, to ensure pick-up of vibration for each bearing and gear
interface.
f. Pumps, fans & other machines with internal bearings and overhung shaft​ - mount
sensor on the bearing housing, either radial or axial to the output shaft.
g. Pumps, fans & other machines with split-case design and separate drive-end and
non-drive-end bearings​ - mount sensors on both drive-end and non-drive-end
bearing housings, either radial or axial to the output shaft.
3. Select mounting method
a. Threaded Stud​ - preferred method for permanent installation. The sensor comes
with a 316SS threaded ¼”-28 stud for screwing the sensor into a threaded hole
on the machine surface.
i.
Requires mounting surface to have wall thickness of ½” or greater,
otherwise “break-through” can occur from drilling.
b. Adhesive​ - alternate preferred method for permanent installation.
i.
Use a high-strength adhesive suitable for environment and application.
ProAxion Epoxy-Mounting Kit includes Lord® 406-17 2-Part Modified
Acrylic Adhesive.
ii.
Mount sensor directly to a flat surface, or use epoxy-mounting adapter
included in ProAxion Epoxy-Mounting Kit. The epoxy-mounting adapter
can be used for curved or flat surfaces that are smooth.
c. High-strength Magnet​ (not recommended for permanent installations)
i.
Recommend minimum 95 lbs pull-strength.
ii.
Even high-strength magnets can “walk” over time, which can cause
sensor to “wobble” on the machine surface and add erroneos vibration
data, which can cause false alarms.
Steps for stud-mounting
Prepare machine surface:
1. Mark spot using indent tool or drill a small pilot hole
2. Use spot-face tool to machine a flat surface & pilot hole. Set drill bit to minimum depth of
11/32” (8.7mm).
3. Tap hole with ¼”-28 thread (use bottoming tap for blind holes).
4. Clean any metal shavings or filings from the tapped-hole
Mount sensor:
5. Apply semi-permanent thread locker to stud threads (we recommend Vibra-Tite® Blue).
6. Apply silicone sealant to surface of spot face to prevent corrosion of machine surface.
7. Hand-tighten the sensor to machine (do not use tools).
Steps for adhesive-mounting
1. Prepare machine surface:
a. Remove all dirt, grease, oil, loose coatings and oxidation from machine surface.
Use scour pad, wire brush or other tools as necessary to ensure long-lasting
bond.
2. Mount sensor:
a. If mounting sensor directly to machine surface (flat surfaces only), follow
instructions for mixing and applying adhesive and ensure that sensor maintains
good contact with machine surface during full cure time.
b. If using epoxy-mounting adapter provided in ProAxion Epoxy Mounting Kit (for
flat or curved surfaces), follow instructions for mixing and applying adhesive and
mount the adapter to the machine ensuring it makes good contact with machine
surface during cure time.
i.
The epoxy-mounting adapter has a built-in magnet which helps make
good contact with machine surface during cure time for steel surfaces.
ii.
Allow enough time for full cure of the adapter to the machine before
attaching sensor to the adapter. Typically 24 hours.
iii.
After adhesive has fully cured, follow steps #5 and #7 of the
stud-mounting instructions to attach sensor to the adapter. ​Hand-tighten
only, do not use tools!
