EPSON GYRO SENSORS

Angular rate where you need it

A gyro sensor measures angular rate. It is the compact, low-power way to stabilize, control attitude, suppress vibration and track heading changes in machines, robots and vehicles.

Epson gyro sensors use quartz sensing elements and deliver digital output with integrated filtering. AMCORIS supplies the range and supports you from selection to integration.

QUICK ANSWER

Gyro sensor or IMU?

A gyro sensor is the right choice when angular rate is the key quantity, for example heading changes of an AGV or vibration suppression in a machine, and power and space are limited. An IMU adds three-axis gyroscopes and accelerometers with factory calibration and is the right choice for full attitude and navigation.

XV4311BD: navigation-grade yaw rate in 5 × 3 mm

A single-axis quartz yaw-rate sensor with a Double-T sensing element, SafeSPI and built-in diagnostics. Its 0.9 °/h bias instability makes it a strong heading reference for GNSS/INS navigation, autonomous vehicles and ADAS. Paired with a 6-axis sensor, it also enables fault detection.
