Abstract
The pendular unit comprises a piezoelectric transducer beam, and an inertial mass mounted at the free distal end of the beam and comprising two half-masses arranged on either side of the beam. A mechanical connection connects the two half-masses to each other on either side of the beam in such a way as to clamp the beam between the two half-masses to secure the inertial mass to the beam, the assembly being devoid of glue between the half-masses and the beam.
