Abstract
A mounting pocket is provided for attaching a monitoring device to a pump bearing frame. The mounting pocket includes a recessed area located on an external side of the pump bearing frame, a flat surface within the recessed area; and at least four threaded mounting holes extending into the flat surface. At least a part of the drive bearing portion has a reduced radial wall thickness adjacent the flat surface. The threaded mounting holes are configured to receive threaded bolts from the monitoring device to secure the flat surface against a rear surface of the monitoring device. The flat surface is configured to transfer at least one of vibration or thermal energy from the pump bearing frame through the flat surface to the monitoring device.
