Pendulum Compensation Accelerometer: Development and Test Results
https://doi.org/10.17586/0021-3454-2026-69-3-242-252
Abstract
The design features and test results of samples of compensation-type pendulum accelerometers with torsion suspension are presented. A comparative analysis of the results of precision tests of the manufactured prototypes in two modes is carried out — independently and as part of an inertial module. The obtained characteristics of the devices and their comparison with typical values of similar characteristics of macromechanical accelerometers are presented.
