Watson Industries has been designing and making solid-state
gyros since 1980. They have now produced a new series of rate gyros, the Pro
Gyro™. This breakthrough new gyro is built, to be a
VSG replacement and much more.
Based on proven technology, this gyro is built under AS9100 quality standards
with new features including built-in test and enhanced EMI/RFI protection.
The Pro Gyro™ has excellent performance for stability,
acceleration insensitivity, low mounting sensitivity and vibration rejection.
This is achieved by having a sensing element that is finely tuned and temperature
compensated. The advanced tuning methods allow better relative tolerances and
better signal to noise performance. Special internal mounting holds the gyro
sensing element in a stable alignment while rejecting linear vibration.
Upgrades that are standard for the Pro Gyro™ include
available rate ranges up to 300 degrees per second, internal power regulation
for power input between 9 volts and 35 volts, and a case mounted connector.
