MEMS Sensor Strengthens Shock Tolerance

Diversified Technical Systems (DTS) enhanced its ARS PRO sensor to tolerate higher shock and vibration. Designed for high-rate angular velocity, the microelectromechanical system (MEMS) sensor uses a resonating gyro to discern angular rates by measuring deflections in the sensing element that occur when rotational forces are applied. Features of the device include dc response, low-power requirements, a compact form factor, and high reliability. All ARS PRO models are linear over the rated range, complying with SAE and ISO for frequency response. Full-scale ranges extend from ±300 to ±50,000 degrees/second. Bandwidths reach up to 2000 Hz. CFC 180, 600, and 1000 testing requirements are fully supported.
