ABSTRACT:
An accelerometer includes a flexible beam member, a support and mounting holes. An inertial mass is carried by the beam member and is spaced from the mounting holes. A spring allows the beam to pivotably move in a plane transverse to a first direction. The beam member is resiliently deformable in the first direction and permits relative motion between the inertial mass and the support in response to acceleration. The beam member is also able to move relative to the support in the transverse plane because of the action of the spring to recude the likelihood of damage caused by shock accelerations.
