Abstract

Accelerometers as disclosed herein include a proof mass assembly and an accelerometer support. In some examples, a combined height and a combined coefficient of thermal expansion (CTE) of the materials of the accelerometer support is configured to substantially match a CTE of material of the non-moving member with a height substantially similar to the combined height of the accelerometer support. In some examples, the accelerometer support is configured to connect to a center raised pad of the proof mass assembly and maintain a capacitance gap between a capacitance plate on a proof mass of the proof mass assembly and a portion of the non-moving member.
