High Resolution Rotational Seismometer

Model R-1
r1 seismometer






The R-1 is the newest in a line of sensors using state-of-the-art electro chemical MET technology.

The R-1 triaxial rotational sensor features the highest sensitivity/resolution available in a rotational transducer, over a wide frequency band with no parasitic resonances. It directly measures rotational data and is insensitive to linear motion.

The R-1 rotational sesimometer is distinct from other recently developed unproven sensors on the market that it is field proven and successfully deployed in the field for many years.

The rugged aluminum construction is designed for the most demanding environments, complying with Nema 4, 4x and 12; JIC-EGP-1-1967; and IEC 529, IP66 standards.

Unlike solid-state type devices it is extremely sensitive with an low noise floor and has very low susceptibility to temperature changes, offering a standard operating range of -15C to +55C.

Options include an additional three axis of linear force balanced accelerometers providing six outputs for all components of motion (6DOF).
