Geo Space Corporation manufactures high quality, low cost geophones for a variety of industrial and military uses. These geophones have an unlimited shelf life and provide years of trouble-free service in applications where accurate motion sensing is required.
The GS-14 is a miniature, self-generating velocity detector designed for rugged environments. It withstands extreme shock with no change in performance characteristics. The GS-14 has been used as a reliable component in sonobuoys, smart fuses and intrusion detection systems.
The GS-14 is sensitive to motion along its longitudinal axis and is designed to operate in any position from vertical to horizontal. Both medium and high sensitivity models are available. With a natural frequency of 28 Hz, the GS-14 is an ideal motion sensor for frequencies in the acoustic spectrum.

Notes:
1. Reference temperature for functional parameters is 75C
2. Orientation angle is referenced to vertical.
3. Damping factor is ratio of critical damping.
4. Sensitivity, natural frequency, coil resistance and damping factor are 100% tested. Consult the factory
for special tests required to guarantee other functional parameters and shock limits.
