ACCELERATION METER Russian patent published in 2000 - IPC

FIELD: measuring equipment, in particular, linear acceleration transducers with frequency output. SUBSTANCE: device has first and second mobile members, two transducers of inertial force to mechanical value, two self-excited oscillators, and frequency mixer. Mobile members are located in plane, which is made from single-crystal material. In addition device has first and second stationary members. Said transducer of inertial force to mechanical value is designed as flexible joint, which rigidity depends on upper limit of range of measurements. Elements of differential capacitance-based transducer are inserted into circuits of self-excited oscillators. EFFECT: decreased weight and size, decreased production cost. 5 cl, 5 dwg
