We offer standard Gyroscope sensors but can also help you with a customized design or a complete measurement solution.
Measurement of angular rate without a fixed point of reference
Gyroscopes are an essential component of stabilization systems for platforms and flight devices such as drones, robots, etc. Our rate of turn sensors (MEMS gyroscopes) are used whenever you want to measure angular rate (°/s) without a fixed point of reference. That sets gyroscopes apart from instruments for tactile rotation measurements, such as tachometers or potentiometers. Thanks to modern silicon MEMS sensor technology, Althen gyroscopes can measure angular rate even in rough surroundings and at high temperatures.
The Althen portfolio includes:
- Standard angular rate sensors: for industrial and OEM applications, cost efficient and compact
- Precision turn rate sensors: for aviation and racing applications, with excellent stability and low noise
- Turn rate sensors without housings: for direct system integration, compact, rugged, and cost effective
- Inertial sensors: Measurement platforms (IMU) with three acceleration sensors and three turn rate sensors for navigation and other demanding applications
