Hello all,

I need to mount an accelerometer in the test rig for dynamic measurement (machine condition monitoring). I am using MMF make KD41V accelerometer. The machine has limited space and I have to protect the accelerometer from splashing oil due to continuous lubrication. Due to space constraint, i have came up with a design in which a 25mm long, 25 mm diameter hylam material block is used in between machine face and accelerometer. Hylam material acts as insulator too. My question is, if i use such a long material in between accelerometer and machine face, will it affects the reading? Schematically this is shown in the following figure. Please guide me!
