The first spring and the second spring are positioned at a first end and a second end of the hollow conductive tube respectively, and the magnet is positioned between the first spring and the second spring. The magnet is configured to move coaxially inside the hollow conductive tube as permitted by the first spring and the second spring, and the magnet suspended inside the hollow conductive tube operates as a tuned mass damper (TMD) to limit a resonant response of the cantilever assembly.

Earth vibrators, such as servo-hydraulic vibrators, are improved to produce more output force and less distortion at very low frequencies by capturing mass from the vehicles which carry them, adding sufficient inertial mass to the reaction mass without adding much vehicle and equipment weight while also avoiding increases to the servo-hydraulic vibrator's stroke length. In particular, improvements to servo-hydraulic vibrators, at low frequencies, will couple some mass from the carrier vehicle frame and its load using non-rigid coupling only when additional mass is needed using dampers connected between the reaction mass and the carrier vehicle's frame, with the added damping being applied by a control system at very low frequencies of output where the vibrator is otherwise unable to produce force equal to its hold-weight.
