The broad field of seismology and geoscience requires a range of high-tech equipment that makes it possible to detect even the smallest earth movements in the first place. Permanent seismic monitoring makes it possible to localize potential hazards and establish effective long-term protection against the effects.
We offer a broad, specialized portfolio of products and services worldwide for this topic with its utmost social importance. Our service range includes support in the development of new seismometers, certified calibration and structural excitation for seismological research and equipping entire laboratories.

Vibration exciters
Specialized for seismometers and geophones
The air-bearing vibration exciters from SPEKTRA and APS Dynamics were specially developed for the calibration of seismometers and geophones. They are characterized by large mounting areas and high maximum payload. Due to the combination of their excellent performance values and simultaneous mechanical load capacity, they can be found in numerous institutes and research facilities. The APS ELECTRO-SEIS® brand is known worldwide for its efficient and reliable long-stroke vibration exciters.

Accessories and Components
Details matter
Scientific work with our products frequently requires customized solutions tailored to specific challenges. Thanks to our experienced development team, we can offer optional accessories designed specifically to meet the demands of seismic work.
- Adapter plates for seismometers
- Stray magnetic field compensation for sensitive sensors
- Special seismic sensor supply for your seismometers
- Electronic Zero Position Controller (APS 0109)
- Special cables, adapters, accessories and tools
Modal exciters
Excitation of larger structures
To investigate possible effects of seismic movements on structures or industrial plants, our APS modal exciters can be used to excite large structures in a targeted manner. Optional accessories allow the exciters to be applied in different working modes such as free body mode or fixed at angles between 0° and 90°. Optional reaction masses can be used to additionally increase performance.
