  • Vibration probe for detecting the radial displacement of rotating shaft
    Patent number: 4016752
    Abstract: The present device has a three-piece spring-loaded main housing with a cavity therein, and an accelerometer assembly disposed in said cavity and arranged therein to be held between a plurality of O-rings located on both ends thereof. One of said pieces of said main housing comprises a plastic tip. The entire main housing is located within a sleeve and is spring-loaded to force said plastic tip against the rotating shaft whose displacements are being monitored.

  • Externally mounted transducer for detecting changes of fluid pressure in a pipe
    Patent number: 3965745
    Abstract: The present device provides a pressure-responsive transducer which fits externally onto a fluid carrying pipe, or conduit, and which transducer contacts the pipe at a plurality of tangential points. Said tangential points are located in a plane which lies substantially orthogonally to the axis of said fluid carrying pipe. In addition, the present system employs a circuit which is connected to said transducer and said circuit is particularly designed to eliminate background noise and spurious signals.
