ABSTRACT:
A fluidic accelerometer having a single sensitive axis. The accelerometer is comprised of a seismic mass having first and second end surfaces positioned perpendicular to the sensitive axis, viscous damping means for suspending the seismic mass in a normal null position and for damping oscillatory movement of the seismic mass in the direction of the sensitive axis, and means responsive to movement of the seismic mass in the direction of the sensitive axis for providing a restoring force to return the seismic mass to the normal null position and for producing an output fluidic signal variation proportional to the acceleration of the seismic mass in the direction of the sensitive axis.
