ASC 271 Gyroscope

Uniaxial angular rate sensor with MEMS vibrating ring technology


About the ASC 271 Gyroscope

ASC’s precision navigation and pointing gyroscopes are made of robust silicon MEMS vibrating ring elements. As the gyro is rotated, coriolis forces acting on the silicon ring cause radial movement at the ring perimeter, the magnitude of which is proportional to the angular velocity of rotation. The gyro thus produces an analog voltage signal, which is linearly proportional to the angular rate. The balanced ring design results in excellent shock and vibration insensitivity.

ASC’s Industrial-grade MEMS gyros have excellent bias instability and very low noise density , angle random walk and sensitivity to linear accelerations.
