A transducer mounting apparatus (10) is disclosed which includes a two-piece mounting bracket (20) and a verification device (100). The two-piece mounting bracket (20) includes a precisely machined base plate (22) and sliding plate (60). At least one transducer (150) is mounted to the sliding plate (60) and the sliding plate (60) is slideably coupled to the base plate (22) for precisely mounting and slideably positioning at least the one transducer (150) adjacent a "target" to be monitored thereby. The verification device (100) couples to the base plate (22) and is employed in a method for calibrating and verifying the operation of at least the one transducer (150) prior to at least the one transducer (150) being mechanically locked into position by rigidly securing the sliding plate (60) to the base plate (22).

[ We claim:] [1.] A transducer mounting bracket for adjustable mounting a transducer adjacent a target disposed on a rotating shaft of a machine, said bracket comprising in combination:a base plate including means for rigidly mounting said base within an interior of a housing of the machine and adjacent the target;said base plate including a pair of substantially parallel spaced apart trackways longitudinally extending in a plane substantially parallel to the rotating shaft of the machine;an adjustable sliding plate including a pair of substantially parallel spaced apart channels slideably coupled to said trackways and longitudinally extending in a plane substantially parallel to the rotating shaft of the machine;said sliding plate including a longitudinally extending transducer receiving area for rigidly supporting at least one transducer;wherein the transducer rigidly supported by said adjustable sliding plate is axially moveable with respect to the target being monitored by the transducer for axially positioning the transducer prior to locking said sliding plate to said base plate via a fastening means.
