The invention relates to an arrangement for determining angular velocity and acceleration by holding an inertial mass suspended in a spatial arrangement by means of position-regulating systems which serve the purposes of measurement and control. This arrangement is particularly applicable for measurements in inertial navigation. It is the object of the invention to configure a three-axis accelerometer in such a way that its operation requires a low outlay on measuring and control systems; this is achieved when the inertial mass is held suspended by six position-regulating systems on the ends of a three-dimensional, symmetrical cross, and the respectively opposite position-regulating systems have the same direction of motion and are arranged perpendicular to the corresponding axis of the three-dimensional cross. <IMAGE> |
