<p>A force sensor device for sensing force due to changes in acceleration or pressure, comprising a proof mass in the form of a beam of silicon material being subjected to vibration at a resonant frequency and being suspended by means of a pair of silicon spring means connecting the beam at opposite ends to a supporting frame, the beam being of a first thickness and having an oblong hexagonal form , each of said silicon spring means being of a second, smaller thickness flush with one face of said beam and at one end of a short side of said beam being a right angles thereto, said silicon spring means located at the most spaced apart regions of said beam, means for creating expansion and contraction forces within said beam resulting in any controlled vibration mode of the beam, and means being provided for detecting vibration frequency changes in said beam due to applied forces acting on said sensor device and related change of spring stiffness. <IMAGE></p> |
