Trägheitssensoren.

摘要

A vibrating planar ring (10) or hoop-like structure (10) is disclosed. The structure is suspended in space by a suitable support mount (22,53) for detecting turning rate, linear acceleration and angular acceleration. Turning rate is sensed by detecting vibrations coupled by Coriolis forces, whereas linear acceleration and angular acceleration are sensed by lateral, vertical and rocking movement of the entire ring (10) or hoop-like structure (10) within its mount.
