Sunstrand accelerometer

Figure 4-220 shows the schematic diagram of a servo-controlled single-axis accelerometer. The pendulum is a disk kept in position as in the case of the reverse pendulum. Extremely efficient accelerometers can be built according to this principle in a very limited space. The Sunstrand accelerometer is seen in Figure 4-221.
