Type 4-126 

Velocity Vibration Transducer 

Made in the United States of America 

 

 
 
Description 
 

The 4-126 is a seismic type velocity transducer designed for measuring vertical vibrations at temperatures up to +700°F (+371°C). A 
seismic mass magnet moves on precision bearings. A coil is attached to the case and relative movement between the magnet and 
coil produce the output signal when the case is in motion. This air damped system operates above its natural frequency and the 
output is proportional to velocity. The sealed enclosure assures complete protection of the moving parts from external 
contamination.
