Inertial Aerosystems has introduced a low cost solid state angular rotation sensor designed primarily for original equipment manufacturers (O.E.M’s). Designated the Horizon unit, it is manufactured by U.S. based Systron Donner Inertial.
It incorporates a one piece micromachined vibrating quartz tuning fork sensing element that gives exceptional stability and reliability over temperature, with high resistance to shock and vibration. Operating from a 12Vdc power supply at <20mA, .with internal power regulation, it provides a simple output interface with a high level (0 to + or - 5Vdc) output signal and a 2.5Vdc reference to allow for differential monitoring of the output. Standard ranges are + or - 90, 100, 200 degrees/sec, with input voltage of 8 to 15Vdc. The unit weighs 60 grams, size 25.4W X 50.5L X 25.9Hmm.

Other features include low drift, fast start-up, while low noise offers higher accuracy and resolution. This innovative product is ideal where space and weight are at a premium and can be customised to various permutations.

Applications include Antenna stabilisation systems, GPS augmentation of logistics vehicles and agricultural production, Factory automation, Medical / Orthopaedic and Instrumentation.
