ACCELEROMETER Russian patent published in 1995 - IPC

FIELD: inertial navigation; accelerometry. SUBSTANCE: accelerometer has hermetic housing, two identical inertial masses in form of pendulum, two resonators, excitation system and information reading system. Inertial masses and resonators are made of solid monocrystalline quartz disk in such way that resonators are located between inertial masses symmetrically and in parallel to each other; one surface of resonators coincides with one opposite end of disk and axes of inertial mass suspensions lie in plane parallel to disk ends and equidistant from them. EFFECT: enhanced reliability. 4 dwg
