A vibration damper assembly (7) for a ring resonator (1) of a vibrating structure gyroscope has a female portion attachable to a body (8) of the gyroscope so as to have limited resiliency with respect to the body (8) in a direction substantially perpendicular to the body. A male portion is fixedly attachable at one end to a resonator (1) of the gyroscope, projectable into the female portion and fixedly attachable at its other end in and to the female portion. The assembly permits damping of vibratory movement of the resonator (1) in a direction substantially perpendicular thereto whilst retaining stiffness and freedom to vibrate for the resonator (1) in the plane thereof. |
