The ARS-12 is
our most sensitive angular rate sensor. Designed to eliminate jitter
from airborne and space borne mirrors, optical systems or lasers, and
for accurate line-of-sight imaging platform stabilization, the ARS-12
can measure vibrations and angular motions as low as 50 nanoradians.
This product has very
high sensitivity and a very low noise floor. The stainless steel housing and mounting plate make a rugged assembly, able to operate
accurately after an 800g shock load. Its compact size and mass allow
use in very small spaces. The ARS-12 has a wide, usable frequency range
from less than 1 to more than 1,000 Hz. The ARS-12 is available in
three standard ranges for angular rate measurement and three standard
ranges for angular displacement measurement.
The ARS-12A has
an optional test signal input and an optional temperature sensor.
