The proposal is for a device for measuring acceleration via piezoelectric transducers. The device has a prior art bearer (14, 16) with a parallel main shaft for acceleration measurement, a seismic mass (20, 22) held so as to move in relation to the bearer and piezoelectric units (12, 12') acting in pairs and connected so as to be excited, in which the arrangement is such that pyroelectric effects are compensated. According to the invention, the bearer has a cross-member (16) extending transversely to the main shaft and the piezoelectric units excited by compression are fitted thereon on its opposite sides in relation to the direction of the main shaft between the latter and the seismic mass (20, 22). This results in temperature-independence and insensitivity to ground expansion and acceleration of any other kind and direction than linear and parallel to the main shaft.
