Highlights
  • These devices are used almost exclusively for measurement of vibratory displacement in those (many) cases where a fixed reference for relative-displacement measurement is not available.
  • The basic principle of seismic (absolute-) displacement pickups is simply to measure (with any convenient relative-motion transducer) the relative displacement of a mass connected by a soft spring to the vibrating body.
