Wilcoxon Sensing Technologies

Seismic sensors

Combine a supersensitive piezoelectric accelerometer, an ultra-low-noise amplifier, and excellent electrical/mechanical isolation and the result will be unmatched performance in measuring low-level vibration. Operating under the same principles as general-purpose accelerometers, Wilcoxon’s seismic sensors are characterized by low frequency response, high output sensitivity and a low noise floor. They are primarily designed to measure low-amplitude, low-frequency signals in applications such as structural monitoring, earthquake detection systems and vibration isolation verification. Capable of measuring down to sub micro-g range, our seismic sensors contain no moving parts, have minimal sensitivity to magnetic fields, and are relatively low mass. Power amplifiers with filtering, gain and integration capability are available to pair with the seismic sensors for all-around vibration monitoring detection capabilities.
