Inclination sensor for e.g. detecting inclination angle in motor vehicle, has balancing pendulum connected with measuring pendulum by gear i.e. planetary gear, where measuring pendulum is connected with ring gear

摘要

The sensor (10) has a measuring pendulum (20) that is rotatable around an axis (12) in a housing (11). An angle measuring instrument (24) measures rotary motion of the measuring pendulum around the axis, and a balancing pendulum (22) is rotatable around the axis. Rotary motion of the balancing pendulum is coupled with the rotary motion of the measuring pendulum. The balancing pendulum is connected with the measuring pendulum by a gear i.e. planetary gear (70). The measuring pendulum is connected with a ring gear (32).
