Linear excitation for coriolis mass flow meter

Abstract

The present disclosure relates to an excitation device for exciting an oscillation, comprising a fixable portion, a movable portion configured to move with respect to the fixable portion, a connection portion, wherein the movable portion is connected to the fixable portion via the connection portion, a piezo element fixedly mounted to the fixable portion, and a connecting element mechanically connecting the piezo element and the movable portion. Furthermore, a Coriolis flow meter comprising a measuring tube, at least one sensor configured to detect motion of the measuring tube, and an excitation device configured to excite an oscillation of the measuring tube is disclosed.

Dependencies are inferred from the claim text.
