The proposal is for a device and a process for the simultaneous determination of a rate of rotation W and an acceleration atr transverse to the axis of rotation. Said device has at least one acceleration sensor (1, 2) on each of at least two sections (3, 4) fitted in such a way that its axis (Z1, Z2) sensitive to accelerations (ac1, ac2, atr) does not lie in the plane formed by the axis of rotation (D) and the velocity component (v) of the oscillation. In implementing the process, the device is rotated about the axis (D) at a rotation speed corresponding to the speed W to be determined, and simultaneously the device is caused to oscillate at at least two sections (3, 4) with a velocity component (v1, v2) perpendicular to the axis of rotation (D). With the symmetrical fitting of identical acceleration sensors (1, 2) to the device, the rate of rotation W and the transverse acceleration atr can be obtained in a simple manner by adding or substracting the measurement signals detected in the acceleration sensors (1, 2). |
