Gyro sensors for measuring the rotation rate
Our gyro sensors are used on all types of rail vehicles for reliable curve detection by analyzing the rotation rate. These special inertial sensors are also known as rotation rate sensors and measure the rotational speed of a body.
A micromechanical spring-mass system of the CoriSENS sensors uses the Coriolis force to detect a rotation. It is highly insensitive to lateral forces caused by disruptive vibrations or mechanical noise. Offset compensation minimizes the natural drift effect of the gyroscope with a low-pass filter. Faster changes in the gyroscope output, e.g. a rotation caused by cornering, are fed directly to the sensor output and form the signal for curve detection.

CoriSENS - Gyro sensors for recording the rotation rate
CoriSENS is a single-axis angular rate sensor. It records the angular velocity of rotation around its measuring axis based on MEMS technology. A spring-mass system continuously measures the deflection of a seismic mass, which is excited to vibrate at high frequency. This value is proportional to the angular velocity and is then output in the form of a 4-20 mA current signal or 0-10 V voltage signal.
Features:
- Measuring range ± 12 °/s (customizable on request)
- Current output 4 - 20 mA
- Voltage output 0 - 10 V
- Protection class IP42
- Temperature range -40 to +85 °C
