Abstract

The shock isolation system for an inertial sensor arrangement, on the one hand, causes an advantageous moment of inertia by the special arrangement of the individual sensors, especially of the gyroscope used. On the other hand, an advantageous long interval of the required shock-absorbing components (“shock mounts”) is provided by the use of several tubular shells. A measurement device with this inertial sensor arrangement thus achieves improved accuracy and reliability.
