Abstract
A system is disclosed for suspension of a mobile mass, such as an inertial angular sensor, including a connection device including first and second connection elements connected to each other through a connection block and deformable in bending in a mobility plane so as to enable displacements relative to the connection block, of the mobile mass connected to the first connection element, and of another element of the system connected to the second connection element such as a support or another mobile mass respectively, along two distinct directions respectively. At least one of the connection elements is formed from two springs, connecting the connection block to the mobile mass or the other element of the system respectively. The connection element thus has improved linearity properties.
