Converting rotation to Coriolis force is the basis of gyro operation. A primary or a seed motion is needed in a gyro; the Coriolis force is the result of two orthogonal motions and is orthogonal to both of them. In MEMS gyros the primary motion cannot be continuous rotation as in conventional ones due to a lack of good bearings in MEMS.
