Mossbauer Velocity Transducers
WissEl velocity transducers are designed for highest linearity and stability. They use the moving coil principle in combination with permanent magnets for optimum performance.
WissEl offers two models of velocity transducers:
| Model | ![]() MA-260S |
![]() MVT-1000 |
|---|---|---|
| Description | Standard model with NdFeB and SmCo5 magnets | Top model for high velocity applications |
| Velocity Range | Up to 15 mm/s | Up to 1000 mm/s |
| Application | Standard Mossbauer experiments | High velocity, bidirectional sources |
