Abstract
An electro-magnetic transducer assembly includes a first component. The first component includes at least one magnet, and optionally a first attachment mechanism for attaching the first component to a vibrating structure. A coil assembly includes a second attachment mechanism for removably attaching the coil assembly to the first component. The coil assembly further includes at least one coil that produces a signal representative of the vibration of the at least one magnet. An output port provides the signal.

An electro-magnetic transducer assembly comprising:
- a first component including at least one magnet;
- and
- a coil assembly including:
- a second attachment mechanism for removably attaching the coil assembly to the first component;
- at least one coil for producing a signal representative of the vibration of the at least one magnet;
- and
- an output port for providing the signal.
A method for measuring a vibration of a structure, the method comprising:
- attaching a first component to the structure, the first component including at least one magnet;
- attaching a coil assembly to the first component, the coil assembly for producing a signal representative of the vibration of the at least one magnet;
- providing the signal to an output port of the coil assembly;
- and
- removing the coil assembly from the first component, leaving the first component attached to the structure.
