Device for determining acceleration or angular rate

In a device for measuring acceleration and/or angular velocity in at least one measurement axis (x, y, z), in order to achieve high measurement accuracy with cost-effective manufacturing, a plurality of measurement transducers (11) designed as accelerometers and/or a plurality of measurement transducers (11) designed as angular velocity sensors are arranged in a plane such that the measurement sensitivity axes (22) of the measurement transducers (11) are aligned parallel to the at least one measurement axis. The signal outputs of measurement transducers (11) of the same type are each connected to a computing unit for averaging, which outputs the averages of the signals summed up per measurement axis (x, y, z) as acceleration and/or angular velocity signals (Fig. 1).
