ACCELEROMETER Russian patent published in 1997 - IPC

FIELD: aviation instrumentation engineering. SUBSTANCE: accelerometer has case accommodating movable part of sensor mounted on flexible hanger 2 and provided with pendulum 1. The latter mounts torque sensor coils 3 and movable plates 6 of differential capacitive position sensor. Movable part carries magnets 4 of torque sensor and fixed plates 5 of position sensor. Surface area of movable plate 6 of position sensor mounted above line parallel to hanger line and crossing geometric center of movable part equals surface area of same plate 6 of this sensor placed below mentioned line. Geometric center on surface of each movable plate 6 of position sensor is aligned with center of symmetry of torque sensor coils. EFFECT: improved design. 2 dwg
