Industrial Sensing
Geospace Technologies is the world’s leading manufacturer of advanced precision sensor products for high-definition land and marine applications, including close-tolerance geophones, high-sensitivity geophones and hydrophones, industrial vibration detectors, and geotechnical seismometers. Our broad range of sensors are proven, affordable technology for any environment, anywhere in the world.
We offer a wide range of geophones and sensors at varied frequency ranges which are manufactured in the USA as well as other international locations.
Geospace offers a complete line of extra-close tolerance, low distortion, and high spurious geophones, along with a complete line of high sensitivity pressure sensors for all shallow or deepwater applications. We also offer a complete range of motion sensors, from high frequency mechanical vibration monitoring to low frequency geotechnical detection.
Omni-Directional Velocity Sensors
Same in-axis sensitivity in any orientation provides high performance, multi-component motion detection.
Geophones
A geophone is a device that detects vibrations in the ground known as seismic waves. Geophones are used to study earthquakes, tremors, and other seismic activity. They can also be used to collect data about geothermal reservoirs.
Geophones use magnets and copper wire coils to detect seismic waves. When a seismic wave moves the geophone, the wire coils cut the magnetic field. The velocity and direction of the seismic wave can be determined from the change in the magnetic field. Geophones convert seismic vibrations into electric impulses.
Our geophones are trusted in numerous applications across the globe, including:
Geophysical Surveys
Whether embedded into our robust and ruggedized land and marine nodal products or offered independently, our wide offering of geophones are used in gathering data on the subsurface.
Security & Surveillance
Geospace sensors are vital components of data gathering tools in applications for defense and military purposes as well as private sector security scenarios. Depending upon the situation, hydrophones, geophones, or seismonitors are available. Sensors can be configured in a variety of packages, including sensor strings, which are often used in homeland security applications.
