ARS-G152 Angular Rate Gyro
The ARS-G152 has excellent performance for stability, acceleration insensitivity, and vibration rejection. Other significant advancements have been made on the ARS-G152. A menu system allows for adjustable sensor bandwidth. The analog rate output can also be toggled between unipolar and bipolar using menu adjustments.
Features:
- High reliability
- Wide bandwidth (Adjustable!)
- Low drift
- Digital RS-232 Serial output
- Four Analog outputs present: 50, 100, 200, and 400°/s ranges
- Accurate in severe environments
- Low noise
- Two-year warranty
Description
The ARS-G152 is Watson’s newest addition to its line of rate gyro sensors.
Watson Industries has been designing and manufacturing solid-state gyros since 1980. The ARS-G152 Rate gyro has many of the features from our Pro Gyro® line but includes many exciting new capabilities including digital output and several analog output ranges. Users can still take advantage of this gyro’s built-in test feature and enhanced EMI/RFI protection.
The ARS-G152 has excellent performance for stability, acceleration insensitivity, and vibration rejection. This is achieved by having a sensing element that is finely tuned and temperature compensated. Other significant advancements have been made on the ARS-G152. A menu system allows for adjustable sensor bandwidth. The analog rate output can also be toggled between unipolar and bipolar using menu adjustments.
