Title: Ultrasonic transducers for cleaning
Post by: RocketScienceSmurf on July 03, 2019, 04:04:53 PM

I thought it would be interesting to build my own ultrasonic cleaner using transducers available from ebay but does anyone know the best way to mount them to the stainless tank? I know most people glue them but is it possible to attach them with a screw instead? And what is that little screw thingy you can see in some pictures?

I have used the K6021 kit from altronics to repair a large cleaner @ work
I used ordinary high strength araldite to attach the transducer after roughening the stainless tank bottom with an angle grinder
