↓ Jump down to specs

Watson Industries has manufactured and developed inertial systems since 1980. The company holds numerous patents and is committed to being a leader in the development of inertial products. The ARS-C332-3A is a miniaturized version of the ARS-E332-3A. This sensor uses a set of smaller gyros to reduce the size of the package.

The triaxial angular rate sensor is capable of surviving 500 g's of shock. Various output ranges are available. Watson Industries manufactures other systems including angle sensing devices, magnetic instruments, magnetic heading systems, as well as a complete line of individual gyros.

The triaxial angular rate gyro package provides excellent features:

• Low Unit Price
• Good Environmental Performance
• Analog Voltage Output
• Available Angular Rate Ranges of 50 to 300° per second
• Solid State Reliability
• One Year Limited Warranty
• Engineering Support

Applications:

Marine, automotive, medical, antenna stabilization, robotics and many others where accurate measurement of angular rate is required.
