A LOW COST ANSWER TO VIBRATION DETECTION |
||
|
Sensors which convert motion into electric signals are known as geophones or seismometers. They are also called detectors, transducers or probes.
|
 |
|
| Geophones are used today in a variety of applications that are far removed from their original purpose as earthquake detectors. Geospace Technologies began producing geophones over three decades ago and is one of the world’s leading manufacturers of inertial sensors. Geospace Technologies geophones have been taken to sea, dropped from the air, buried on the battlefield, attached to machinery and deployed on the moon. | ||
