Angular rate sensor outputs spin rate
Features a rugged micro-electro mechanical sensor core designed to provide an absolute analogue voltage proportional to spin rate, regardless of orientation to gravity or linear acceleration
Newtron Technologies says it has ushered in a new era for dynamic inertial measurement with the introduction of a new angular rate (gyro) sensor The GR-150 features a rugged Mems (micro-electro mechanical system) sensor core designed to provide an absolute analogue voltage proportional to spin rate, regardless of orientation to gravity or linear acceleration

ABB will be presenting the latest technology from its comprehensive range of instrumentation products and systems at Mtec 2004 (Birmingham NEC, 11-12 February 2004)
This enables the GR-150 to deliver unprecedented performance and reliability, says Newtron.
In addition, the new device provides a temperature monitor signal and each unit is accompanied by an individual calibration sheet.
The GR-150 offers improvements in accuracy, resistance to shock, bias stability, size and value.
The GR-150 is ideal for use in applications that require a high degree of accuracy in a harsh environment, such as race vehicle dynamics measurement (pitch, roll or yaw), autonomous vehicle guidance, and GPS augmentation.
The GR-150 can be used with Newtron's Log-3000 compact data logger, or any commercial system capable of receiving a 0-5V analogue signal.
The GR-150 is currently in production with lead times of six weeks.
The sensor is rated to work over an industrial temperature range of -40 to +85C.
It is crafted of machined aluminum alloy, with the highest quality, Mil rated, high-temp wire and fuel-resistant heat shrink.
The GR-150 is priced at US$995 per unit in small quantities.
