Abstract

A method is described for the measurement of sensor axis misalignment relative to its mounting can for a fibre-optic accelerometer. The accelerometers investigated were based on the common cylindrical compliant mandrel design and mounted accelerometers showed typical angular misalignments of 2°. The influence of the misalignment on cross-axis sensitivity is also described for accelerometers orthogonally mounted in a three-component package.
