<p>An improved technique for mounting a coil to a paddle in a force rebalance accelerometer so as to provide relief from temperature induced strains without increasing the mass of the proof mass. The coil (30) is mounted to the paddle (54, 104) at a plurality of mounting sites (60, 62, 64, 110, 112, 114) on the paddle, at least one (62, 64, 112, 114) of which is connected to the paddle by suspension means (76, 78, 86, 88, 120, 122, 130, 132) compliant for movement in the plane of the paddle. In a preferred arrangement, three mounting sites are used, two of which are moveable (62, 64, 112, 114) towards and away from the third, fixed mounting site (60, 110).</p> |
