ASC product series (II) of capacitive accelerometer, IEPE accelerometer, gyroscope

ASC- provides high quality sensor engineering for many critical industries and test applications.
ASC's main value is the close cooperation with our customers, whose success is often built on our innovative sensor solutions.ASC transforms analog sensor technology into intelligent digital sensor solutions and can offer probably the most comprehensive range of capacitive accelerometers in the world. The product range is completed by piezoresistive and piezoelectric accelerometers, tilt sensors, gyroscopes and inertial measurement units (IMUs). The high quality sensors come from their own production - made in Germany and deployed worldwide.




Product I. Capacitive accelerometers

Product III. gyroscope
1、MEMS gyroscope (industrial grade) Single-axis and three-axis


Technology ASC's precision navigation and pointing gyroscopes are made of rugged silicon MEMS vibrating ring elements. As the gyro rotates, the Coriolis force acting on the silicon ring causes radial motion in the ring circumference, the magnitude of which is proportional to the angular velocity of rotation. The gyroscope thus generates an analog voltage signal that is linearly related to the angular rate. The result of the balanced ring design is excellent shock and vibration insensitivity.ASC's industrial-grade MEMS gyro has excellent bias instability and very low noise density, angular random excursion and sensitivity to linear acceleration.
Applications precision navigation and pointing, automotive in-vehicle navigation - precision GPS vehicle and personal navigation aids (heading projection navigation), vehicle yaw, pitch and roll rate sensing, gesture sensing, motion tracking, precision agriculture, camera/antenna/platform stabilization, industrial and robotics.
The cable ASC271 and 273 series gyroscopes feature integrated cables.






2, MEMS gyroscope (tactical grade) single-axis and three-axis


Technology
Excellent long-term bias and scale factor repeatability, low running bias and low noise allow the angular rate sensor to work accurately. A MEMS vibrating ring gyro with a rate range of ±100°/s and ±200°/s was obtained. The gyro also has low bias instability and good angular random excursion and low noise.


The ASC281/ASC283 can be powered by a DC power supply (+6V to +30V) where the output voltage is independent of the power supply. The gyroscope sensor is made of lightweight anodized aluminum housing and features a 4-pin RSP. 12-pin comtronic connector and a detachable cable. ASC's precision navigation and pointing gyroscopes are made of rugged silicon MEMS vibrating ring elements. The gyro uses the Coriolis force effect to detect the magnitude and direction of angular velocity. As the gyro rotates, the Coriolis force acting on the silicon ring causes motion at the circumference of the radial ring, the magnitude of which is proportional to the angular velocity of rotation. The gyro thus generates an analog voltage signal, which is linearly proportional to the angular rate.
