CoriolisVibrationssensor

CoriolisVibrationssensor, often abbreviated as CVC, is a type of sensor that utilizes the Coriolis effect to measure vibrations. This technology is based on the principle that a vibrating object, when subjected to a force, will experience a perpendicular force due to its motion. In the context of a CoriolisVibrationssensor, this vibrating object is typically a micro-machined structure, such as a cantilever beam or a vibrating ring.

When the sensor is subjected to an external vibration, the micro-machined structure begins to oscillate. If this structure is also rotating or moving linearly at a constant velocity, the Coriolis force will act upon it. This force is proportional to the velocity of the oscillation and the velocity of the rotation or linear movement. The sensor is designed to detect and quantify this Coriolis force.

This detection is commonly achieved through capacitive or piezoresistive sensing elements integrated into the micro-machined structure. As the Coriolis force deforms the structure, the change in capacitance or resistance is measured. This measured electrical signal is then processed to determine the magnitude and direction of the original vibration. CoriolisVibrationssensors are known for their high sensitivity and ability to measure vibrations in multiple axes, making them suitable for applications requiring precise motion detection and stabilization.
