Type 4-131

VELOCITY VIBRATION TRANSDUCER

Made in the United States of America

DESCRIPTION
The 4-131 is a seismic mass type velocity transducer designed for measuring vertical vibrations at low frequencies and high
temps up to +700°F (+371°C) or +900°F (+482°C). A seismic mass magnet is suspended by springs and a coil attached to the
case. The output signal results from relative movement between the magnet and coil when the case vibrates. This air damped
system operates above its natural frequency so the output is proportional to velocity.
