Abstract
The accelerometer has a base (2), an outer planar ring-like support frame (17) fixedly bonded to the base (2), and an inner planar ring-like support frame (18) flexibly suspended within the outer frame (17) by mounts (19) connecting the inner frame (18) to the outer frame (17) so that the inner frame (18) is spaced from the base (2), co-planar with the outer support fram (17) so as to provide flexible suspension for the inner support frame (18) reducing compressive and/or tensile forces on mounting legs (4) flexibly mounting a proof mass (3) in the inner support frame (18).
