Rate sensors by TE Connectivity offer measurement for demanding applications

Durham Instruments supplies eight models of rate sensors by TE Connectivity.

Durham Instruments continues to provide top industrial test and measurement devices, and one of the respected manufacturers whose products it supplies is TE Connectivity. This company’s portfolio includes a line of rate sensors, or gyros, which offer electronic measurement solutions and inertial sensors for a variety of demanding applications.

TE Connectivity rate gyros are ideal for users who need to measure angular rates and velocities. Because these applications vary, the manufacturer makes eight models for different tasks.

Standard and custom packages

TE Connectivity’s rate sensors, gyroscopes, and accelerometers are available in standard and custom packages. These devices have been designed for such applications as automotive crash testing, robotics, biomechanics, and test and measurement. They are especially useful in industrial, military, aerospace, and research environments; Durham Instruments also recommends them for use in forestry, education, mining, packaging, power generation, or transportation.

These rate sensors come in anodized and aluminum and stainless steel packages, and their inertial sensors feature complete Six Degree of Freedom (6DoF) and TM kits, as well as user-configurable, self-powered, and external inputs. Models include the following:

• 11206AC and 11207AC. Rugged uni-axial angular rate gyros that measure accurately under various environmental conditions.
• 31206B and 31207B. Tri-axial rate gyros that sense angular rates around three orthogonal axes, with each axial sensor capable of operating in temperatures from -40 to 85 degrees Celsius.
• 603. Small, lightweight tri-axial sensor for high-impact testing, packaged in a shock-resistant housing built for automotive safety, bio-mechanics, aerospace testing, and other critical measurement tasks. Uses silicon MEMS sensing elements with custom electronics.
• 620. Compact analog gyroscope for system designs that require accurate angular-velocity measurement, such as automotive safety testing. Silicon MEMS sensing elements for reliable performance, even in environments with extreme shock and vibration.
• 633. Analog sensor with outputs of three gyroscope/rate sensors and three DC accelerometers, built to withstand harsh environments with high shock.
• GY407D. The first rate gyro of its kind, able to support SCPI-like commands, return information in engineering units, and operate with an ASCII terminal emulator. Users can configure the output.
