Installing the Transducer
Attaching SWIFT Components to the Wheel
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
Procedure
1. Remove the current wheel(s) from the test vehicle.
2. Clean all surfaces of the vehicle tire(s) and the rim(s). It is critical that all
surfaces be free of stones, burrs, and grease. Wash with a mild detergent
such as dish soap. 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
3. Record the serial number that is etched in the side of the transducer. This
number may be covered by the outer sprocket/hub adapter and may be
needed to identify the CD or disk containing the associated calibration files
and for troubleshooting. Also identify the wheel to which the transducer will
be mounted.
4. Mount the transducer for spoked rim applications as follows (for modified
composite or metal rims proceed to Step 5).
SWIFT 10 Fasteners

M8 X 1.25 mm *
* The length of these fasteners is dependant
on the thickness of the outer hub adapter
and washer plate (when used). The
fastener length must ensure a minimum
thread engagement of 12 mm (0.47 in) into
the transducer but must not exceed 17 mm
(0.67 in) engagement where it could
interfere with the fasteners from the
opposite side.
8 M8 X 1.25 mm †
† The length of these fasteners is dependant
on the design of the inner hub adapter. The
fastener length must ensure a minimum
thread engagement of 12 mm (0.47 in) but
must not extend through the inner hub
adapter such that it would interfere with or
contact the spindle face.
