For precision industrial applications, Quartz Micro-Electro Mechanical Systems (QMEMS) angular rate sensors provide a compact, rugged, and highly reliable solution for measuring angular rotation rates. These solid-state inertial sensors are designed to deliver consistent, high-accuracy performance in demanding industrial environments where long life, stability, and low noise are essential. At the core of the device is a monolithic quartz sensing element, selected for its exceptional mechanical stability, low aging characteristics, and superior signal-to-noise performance compared to conventional silicon-based MEMS technologies.
The QMEMS angular rate sensor incorporates internal power regulation, simplifying system integration and ensuring stable operation across a wide range of input conditions. Its DC input and high-level DC output architecture allows direct interfacing with standard industrial control electronics, data acquisition systems, and signal conditioning hardware without the need for complex external amplification. This makes the sensor particularly well suited for applications such as industrial robotics, machine tool control, platform stabilization, condition monitoring, and precision motion control.
To support diverse system requirements, the sensor is available in two electrical configurations. The +12 Vdc version operates from standard battery power and provides a unipolar high-level output ranging from +1.0 to +4.0 Vdc, ideal for single-supply systems and portable or autonomous equipment. The ±15 Vdc version delivers a high-level bipolar output of ±5 Vdc, enabling seamless compatibility with conventional double-sided power supplies and analog control architectures commonly found in industrial automation and test systems.
With no moving or contacting parts, the quartz sensing element offers virtually unlimited operational life and excellent resistance to shock, vibration, and temperature variation. This rugged construction minimizes maintenance requirements while ensuring long-term measurement stability. By combining precision performance, flexible power options, and robust solid-state design, QMEMS angular rate sensors provide an effective and dependable inertial sensing solution for high-end industrial applications requiring accurate and repeatable angular rate measurements.
