ASC 283 Tactical grade gyroscope (triaxial)

High-performance MEMS gyroscope for navigation, AHRS, and gyro-compassing with exceptional bias stability.


Key features

  • Tactical grade MEMS vibrating ring technology
  • Outstanding bias stability (<0.1 °/hr) and angular random walk (xtagstartz0.01 °/√hr)
  • Measurement ranges from ±10 °/s to ±400 °/s
  • Quasi-differential analog output with very low noise
  • IP65-rated aluminum housing
  • Triaxial versions

Performance highlights 

The ASC 283 MEMS gyroscope delivers performance comparable to fiber optic gyroscopes (FOG). It offers excellent bias stability, minimal angular random walk, and a robust design that is resistant to shock and vibration. Thanks to its analog output (±2V) and wide supply voltage (8–30 VDC), it is highly versatile.

Usage conditions

With an IP65 aluminum housing, this gyroscope can withstand harsh environments. Operating temperature is -40°C to +85°C. The detachable cables are adjustable in length and connector.

Applications

  • Gyro-compassing and ship guidance
  • Navigation backup in case of GPS failure
  • AHRS and avionics
  • Positioning of ROVs and UAVs
  • Autonomous vehicles and robotics

Advantages of choosing this product

The ASC gyroscope delivers FOG-like performance in a compact MEMS package. With ISO 17025 calibration options and low power consumption, it is a powerful alternative to more expensive systems.

Other important features

  • Scale factor: up to 200 mV/°/s (±10 °/s version)
  • Bandwidth: 50–100 Hz depending on range
  • Shock resistance up to 1000 g
  • (250g)
  • Temperature sensor integrated per axis
