Abstract
To provide a transducer that can detect the rotation of the transducer with high degree of accuracy, a transducer includes a pair of oscillating reeds extending in the Y-direction to generate a first oscillation to generate a Coriolis force corresponding to the rotation of the transducer, a beam extending in the X-direction and connected to the pair of oscillating reeds, a first detecting unit provided on the beam to detect deformation of the beam due to a second oscillation of the pair of oscillating reeds caused by the Coriolis force, a base member to support the beam, a first connecting device to connect one end of the beam and the base member, and a second connecting device to connect the other end of the beam and the base member.
