Abstract
An angular velocity sensor includes a support body, a retaining portion connected to the support body, first to fourth weights, first to fourth arms, a drive unit for driving the first to fourth arms, and a monitor unit for detecting displacements of the first to fourth arms. An X-axis, a Y-axis, and a Z-axis that are perpendicular to each other are defined. The detector unit is symmetrical with respect to both an axis parallel to the X-axis and an axis parallel to the Y-axis. This angular velocity sensor can cancel an undesired signal caused by external disturbances, such as acceleration or impact, thus detecting an angular velocity accurately.
