Autopilot Directional Gyroscopes
4000C/D-series
-
The 4000C/D is an air-driven directional gyro with A.C. autopilot pickoffs. Left turns produce clockwise dial rotation and right turns produce counter-clockwise rotation. Two knobs control the gyro. The left knob is used to cage the unit, and the right knob is used to select the instrument’s heading. To change course, the right selector knob is pressed and turned to disengage the dial shaft and set the pointer to a new heading. Releasing the selector knob re-engages the pointer with the dial shaft. As the aircraft turns onto a new course, the pointer returns to its original position. The on-course position of the pointer is always at the top of the azimuth circle (0° on the dial with the aircraft headed north).

Triple-Axis Gyro Breakout Board
L3GD20H
-
A gyroscope is a type of sensor that can sense twisting and turning motions. Often paired with an accelerometer, you can use these to do 3D motion capture and inertial measurement (that is - you can tell how an object is moving!) As these sensors become more popular and easier to manufacture, the prices for them have dropped to the point where you can easily afford a triple-axis gyro! Only a decade ago, this space-tech sensor would have been hundreds of dollars.

Laboratory Centrifuges
-
Centrifuge systems are designed for the development, test, evaluation and calibration of accelerometers and a variety of inertial devices. Centrifuges provide a cost-effective solution for simulating high-"G" environments in the laboratory. They support testing of devices such as MEMS-based Inertial Measurement Units (IMUs), low-cost quartz or silicon sensors, Ring Laser Gyros (RLGs), Fiber-Optic Gyros (FOGs), fuzes and crash sensors.

Autopilot Attitude Gyroscopes
5000E/L-series
-
The 5000E air-driven attitude gyro is another variation of our standard 5000B model. It includes inductive pickoffs that generate the signals necessaryto drive an autopilot. The intuitive display has a moving horizon mask that indicates the position of the aircraft’s wings in relation to the natural horizon. This attitude information is passed along to the autopilot system.

Electronic Compass for Dynamic Conditions - Vibration, Acceleration, Uneven Terrain, or Rough Seas
Revolution GS
-
If your compass application involves vibration, acceleration, uneven terrain, or rough seas, you will find the True North Revolution GS electronic compass to be an uncompromising solution that will outperform rival units costing considerably more. The GS provides remarkably accurate heading, pitch, and roll in dynamic conditions. It all starts with a precision 3-axis solid-state magnetometer. Two angular rate gyros independently stabilize pitch and roll. They augment a dual-axis electrolytic tilt sensor that provides precise tilt measurements in static environments. Two sets of independent filters, one set for pitch and one for roll, combine gyro and electrolytic sensor measurements to provide the best available tilt measurements.

Next Generation Subsea Inertial Navigation Systems
TOGSINS
-
The new TOGSINS builds on core TSS fibre optic gyro technology by incorporating inertial navigation (INS) capability. As with TOGS, it is available in three standard heading accuracy variants: 0.1° (TOGSINS1), 0.3° (TOGSINS3) and 0.5° (TOGSINS5), all rated for operational depths to 4,000m or 6,000m giving you a range for all your needs.Inertial position data is produced using an INS algorithm, within the firmware framework of TOGS, whilst attitude data is delivered via accurate roll/pitch measurement of 0.01° (TOGSINS1) and 0.05° (TOGSINS3 and TOGSINS5), and a heave performance of 5cm or 5%.

Gyro Simulator for Aircraft or Bench Use
TA-256A
-
This is a transformer isolated gyro simulator that can substitute for the KI256 attitude indicator and thus eliminate the requirement to remove that gyro to a remote stand and route a vacuum or pressure source out to the aircraft.

Cageable Attitude Gyroscopes
5000M-series
-
The 5000M is an air-driven gyro that has a pictorial horizon mask and fixed airplane. The mask moves to indicate climb, dive, and bank. Bank and pitch attitudes are displayed so that the pilot’s sensing of the gyro indication is the same as the interpretation of the relation between the wings of the aircraft and the natural horizon during visual flight.

Instrument Test Unit
-
Instrument Test Unit For Advanced Inertial Sensors (INTU) is used for testing and evaluation of Ring Laser Gyro (used in GSLV/PSLV launch vehicles), that detects the angular displacement during rotation. The INTU receives displacement signals from the sensor (RLG) to evaluate the sensor characteristics and also generates signals required towards initiating the action of the sensor.
