Abstract

Abstract A vibration transducer for measuring vibrations and shocks, especially vibrations which occur during the operation of machines and mechanical equipment. The induction vibration transducer comprises a permanent magnet movably mounted with respect to at least one induction coil. The movable magnet is provided in the axial cavity of a bushing having disc-like permanent magnets at its opposite ends, the movable magnet being repelled by the fixed permanent magnets. Around the bushing between the axially inner pole pieces of the fixed permanent magnets and the ends of the movable permanent magnet there are pseudobifilar wound induction coils. One or both of the confronting surfaces of the bushing and the movable permanent magnet is provided with an anti-friction covering or coating. The vibration transducer of the invention has relatively small dimensions, withstands moderately high temperature, and is virtually unaffected by temperature changes.

Claims Analysis

Total Claims: 5
Claim 1
Independent Claim 168 words
An induction vibration transducer for measuring vibrations and shocks, comprising an elongated sleeve, an induction coil wound about the exterior of the sleeve, a first permanent magnet movably mounted within the sleeve for movement axially thereof, and second and third permanent magnets mounted on the sleeve in axially spaced positions thereon so as to provide free spaces between the inner pole pieces thereof and the confronting poles of the movable permanent magnet, the pole of the second and third fixed permanent magnets confronting poles of the same polarity on the first movable permanent magnet, the induction coil being composed of pseudobifiliary wound induction coils disposed on the outer surface of the sleeve at the location of the interpolar spaces between the respective second and third, fixed permanent magnets and the first movable permanent magnet, the first, movable permanent magnet having a central opening therethrough which provides for the free exchange of gas between the spaces within the sleeve at the opposite ends of the first, movable permanent magnet.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim 168 words
An induction vibration transducer for measuring vibrations and shocks, comprising an elongated sleeve, an induction coil wound about the exterior of the sleeve, a first permanent magnet movably mounted within the sleeve for movement axially thereof, and second and third permanent magnets mounted on the sleeve in axially spaced positions thereon so as to provide free spaces between the inner pole pieces thereof and the confronting poles of the movable permanent magnet, the pole of the second and third fixed permanent magnets confronting poles of the same polarity on the first movable permanent magnet, the induction coil being composed of pseudobifiliary wound induction coils disposed on the outer surface of the sleeve at the location of the interpolar spaces between the respective second and third, fixed permanent magnets and the first movable permanent magnet, the first, movable permanent magnet having a central opening therethrough which provides for the free exchange of gas between the spaces within the sleeve at the opposite ends of the first, movable permanent magnet.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim 34 words
An induction vibration transducer according to claim 1, wherein at least one of the confronting inner surface of the sleeve and the outer surface of the fixed permanent magnet is coated with anti-friction material.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim 22 words
An induction vibration transducer according to claim 2, wherein the movable permanent magnet is provided with an external coating of anti-friction material.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim 19 words
An induction vibration transducer according to claim 2, wherein both of said confronting surfaces are provided with anti-friction coatings.
