ASC 271 Uniaxial angular rate sensor

Compact, lightweight MEMS gyro for single-axis angular motion detection in harsh industrial environments.


Key features

  • Single-axis angular rate sensing
  • Low bias instability: 12 °/hr
  • Angular random walk: 0.2 °/√hr
  • Measurement ranges: ±75°/s to ±900°/s
  • Vibration and shock resistant up to 10,000 g
  • IP65 anodized aluminium housing

About the ASC 271 Gyroscope

The ASC 271 (uniaxial) industrial-grade MEMS angular rate sensor is based on vibrating ring technology. It offers excellent shock rejection, low noise performance, and robust analog signal output for real-time motion and orientation tracking.

Usage conditions

Designed for harsh environments, the sensor operates across a wide temperature range from -40 °C to +85 °C. With low g-sensitivity, wide bandwidth (up to 150 Hz), and IP65 protection, it is ideal for embedded systems and mobile platforms.

Possible applications

  • Vehicle yaw, pitch, and roll detection
  • Dead reckoning in autonomous navigation
  • Stabilization of antennas, cameras, and robotics
  • Gesture recognition and motion tracking
  • Precision agriculture and machine guidance
  • Industrial automation and robotics

Advantages of choosing this product

Engineers benefit from long-term sensor stability, compact aluminum housing, and compatibility with multiple voltage supply configurations. This gyro offers a plug-and-play solution for integrating angular rate sensing into a wide variety of platforms.

Other important features

  • Rate ranges: ±75 / ±150 / ±300 / ±900 °/s
  • Output: analog voltage signal 3-wire for ASC 271
  • Bandwidth up to 150 Hz
  • Signal and power lines isolated from housing (case isolated)
