Installing the Transducer
Attaching SWIFT Components to the Fixturing
Note Install the transducer such that the orientation labeling is consistent with
the reference orientation. In most cases, this means installing it so the
labels are upright. If an additional angle correction is required after
installation, you will need to measure the angle from zero, and then enter
a new offset value for the AngleOffset in the TI calibration file (see
earlier instructions
, “Edit the Calibration File,” on page 53).
Material required:
• Molykote g-n paste (MTS part number 011-010-217).
• Nikal based anti-galling compound (MTS part number 011-354-902)
• Locktite 222 Threadblocker
• Locktite 262 Threadblocker
1. Clean all surfaces with a mild detergent, such as dish soap. It is critical that
all surfaces be free of stones, burrs, and grease. Use an alcohol-based
solvent to remove grease.
Important It is imperative that the mounting surfaces of the transducer be
protected from getting scratched. Any wheel components and work
surfaces that might come in contact with the transducer must be
clean, smooth, and free of debris.
2. Wipe the unpainted mating surfaces of components with a clean dry cloth.
Use cottons swabs or other soft tool to clean the coupling teeth on the inner
hub adapters and transducer.
3. Lay the transducer on a flat surface with the connector side down. Ensure
you place padding under the transducer to protect the connectors from
damage.
Lay the adapter plate and washer plate on the transducer.
Lubricate the twenty M8 fasteners and mating surfaces and install them.

* The length of these fasteners is dependant on the thickness of the
spindle housing and washer plate. The fastener length must ensure a
minimum thread engagement of 12 mm (0.47 in) into the transducer.

† The length of these fasteners is dependant on the design of the inner
hub adapters. The fastener length must ensure a minimum thread
engagement of 12 mm (0.47 in) into the non-connector side inner
adapter.
