vibration sensors - 120 hertz
(OP)
As an electrical guy, I'd like some suggestions on a vibration sensor that detects 120 hertz vibration and provides an electrical contact that opens or closes. The application is for a large power transformer. Ideally it would be a device that could be mounted on the outside of the tank, which is steel. Maybe magnetically attached.
Is there something like this readily available? I've tried Google but I'm finding a bunch on devices that don't fit the bill. Any suggestions?
Thanks in advance.

It's a developmental idea. There's a potential problem with energizing generator step up transformers for prolonged periods without the generator running. You build up static charge in the transformer windings with the pumps running at no load. I thought a simple mechanical sensor clamped to the GSU tank would be a simple way to detect that the transformer is energized.
For me, it's a 120 Hz sensor. For you, it's probably a 100 Hz sensor.
