Abstract

A sensor module configured to detect a vibration of a mechanical component includes a base connectable to the mechanical component, at least one spacer extending from the base, and a circuit board connected to the base by the spacer such that a mechanical vibration is transmitted from the component to the base to the spacer to the circuit board. The circuit board includes a circuit and wirelessly transmits signals indicative of a detected vibration. The spacer includes a body portion and a pin portion projecting from an end of the body portion. The pin portion extends into the at least one hole, and the body portion is blocked from passing though the at least one hole by contact with a region of a first side of the circuit board surrounding the at least one hole.
