Abstract
A transducer having compensation for a deflection due to an applied stress. The transducer a support ring (32) having a proof mass (34) cantilevered on a pair of flexures (38) between the magnets (26, 28) of a stator in which the transducer is mounted. Deflection of the support ring due to an imbalanced applied force is compensated by either moving the pads (30) used to mount the support ring, moving the centroid of capacitance (128) of the proof mass, or by modifying the support ring to provide a pair of moment arms (156), each approach insuring that an axis of deflection (102, 130) of the support ring is coaligned with the centroid of capacitance, thereby minimizing a bias error in the transducer output.
