<P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an angular velocity sensor improved in reliability by reducing the angular velocity error caused by acceleration of an oscillator to the moving direction. <P>SOLUTION: An oscillator 22 formed of a piezoelectric element is provided with a shaft part 28 with arm parts 30 of a tuning fork type. A main body 26 comprises the IC 27 for controlling the oscillator 22, and detects the angular velocity, a substrate 32 for mounting IC 27 and supporting the oscillator 22, and a case 34 for covering the IC 27, and the substrate 32. The oscillator 22 is slantingly mounted on the main body 26. The slant angle of the oscillator 22 to the moving direction of the oscillator 22 is made nearly at a right angle. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2006,JPO&NCIPI |
