First Claim
Patent Images
1. A sensor comprising:
- a seismic mass;
at least one mechanical stop for asymmetrically limiting a deflection of the seismic mass with respect to a vibrational center position, in at least one operating mode of the sensor;
means for detecting the deflection of the seismic mass and converting the deflection into an electrical signal; and
means for limiting at least one maximum value of the electrical signal, the limiting being provided symmetrically in relation to the vibrational center position, the maximum value of the electrical signal not being greater than a smallest value predefined by the mechanical stop.

Abstract
A sensor having a seismic mass and having an arrangement for detecting the deflection of the mass and converting it into an electrical signal; in at least one operating mode of the sensor, a mechanical stop asymmetrically limiting the deflection of the seismic mass with respect to a vibrational center position. An arrangement for symmetrical limiting of the signal provided on the sensor.
