First Claim
Patent Images
1. A rotational rate sensor comprising:
- at least one vibrating weight;
an excitation device for inducing vibration of the vibrating weight;
a first deflectable weight arranged on the vibrating weight;
a first analyzer device for determining a deflection of the first deflectable weight;
a second deflectable weight arranged on the vibrating weight; and
a second analyzer device for determining a deflection of the second deflectable weight;
wherein directions of deflection of the first and second deflectable weights are not parallel to each other and are not parallel to a direction of vibration of the vibrating weight.

Abstract
A rotational sensor has a vibrating weight with two acceleration sensors mounted on it. The two acceleration sensors are designed to detect forces acting at a right angle to each other. The vibrating weight is set in vibration by means of driving devices, and rotation of the rotational sensor about two axes of rotation that are normal to each other is detected with the help of the acceleration sensors. The Coriolis forces in a plane are determined in this way.
