Abstract
An assembly is provided for mounting a vibration transducer such as an accelerometer with a hand grip and probe for hand-held vibration data gathering. By the simple maneuvering of plugging in a transmission cable and accelerometer connector, following which a forward retainer is screwed down upon the accelerometer and probe assembly, a hand grip based device is provided. Conversely, a configuration utilizing an accelerometer alone or with a permanent magnet becomes available with a simple demounting procedure involving merely the untightening of the forward retainer and the plugging in of a transmission cable. This affords the technician a simple opportunity for using a desired hand grip and hand grip based entry switch as well as a convenient technique for utilizing an accelerometer in stand-alone fashion or with a permanent magnet connector feature.
