Abstract
A micromechanical device, in particular an acceleration sensor, includes a seismic mass which is resiliently supported on a substrate via a first flexural spring device and which can be deflected in at least one direction by an acceleration, the deflection being able to be limited by a stop device. The stop device has at least one limit stop that is resiliently supported on the substrate via a second flexural spring device, the second flexural spring device having a greater flexural strength than the first flexural spring device.
