A microelectromechanical sensor device that comprises: a seismic mass; a spring structure for suspending the seismic mass into a static support structure, wherein the spring structure defines for the seismic mass a drive direction, and a sense direction that is perpendicular to the drive direction; excitation means for driving the seismic mass into linear oscillation, the linear oscillation having a direction which has a primary component in the drive direction and a secondary component by quadrature error in the sense direction; a capacitive transducer structure that includes: a stator (22a, 22b) to be anchored to a static support structure, which stator includes a planar first stator surface, and a planar second stator surface, a first rotor and a second rotor mechanically connected to the seismic mass, wherein the first rotor includes a planar first rotor surface positioned opposite the first stator surface, and the second rotor includes a planar second rotor surface positioned opposite the second stator surface;
