ABSTRACT:
An inertial sensor for measuring changes in rotational motion of a sensor support, having a flywheel rotationally movable in the plane of rotational motion relative to the sensor support and a measured value sensor picking up the rotational state of the flywheel relative to the sensor support. A torque coupler is provided between the sensor support and flywheel. The torque coupler has a torque curve that is a linear function of the relative angular velocity between the flywheel and the sensor support. The measured value sensor is designed as an angular position detector that taps off the rotational angle of the flywheel relative to the sensor support.
