Abstract

A vibration detector includes a casing, a vibration sensor mounted within the casing, a magnet holder fastened to one end of the casing, the magnet holder holding a magnet for securing the casing to a metal device for detecting vibration, and a vibration probe used for transmitting vibration from a non-metal device to the casing, wherein the magnet holder has a coupling groove in front of the magnet; the vibration probe has a metal mounting block fixedly mounted on a rear end thereof for connection to the magnet holder, the metal mounting block having a coupling flange for engaging into the front coupling groove in the magnet holder, permitting the metal mounting block to be attracted by the magnet.
