  2. Rate gyro - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rate_gyro

    Rate gyros are used in rate integrating gyroscopes, and in attitude control systems for vehicles, and in combination with other sensors to make inertial navigation systems. The advantage of rate gyros over other types of gyros is the fast response rate and their relatively low cost.

  3. Rate integrating gyroscope - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rate_integrating_gyroscope

    In a rate integrating gyroscope, the gyroscope is turned at a steady rate about its input axis and a torque is applied to the spin axis. This causes the gyroscope to precess about the output axis. The rate indicating gyroscope consists of a damping fluid between the float assembly can and the outer casing. This viscous fluid resists the motion ...

  4. Gyroscope - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gyroscope

    A gyroscope (from Ancient Greek γῦρος gŷros, "round" and σκοπέω skopéō, "to look") is a device used for measuring or maintaining orientation and angular velocity. [ 1 ][ 2 ] It is a spinning wheel or disc in which the axis of rotation (spin axis) is free to assume any orientation by itself.

  5. Angular rate sensor - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Angular_rate_sensor

    The output signal is proportional to the angular rate due to internal integration that occurs inside of the sensing element. The cutoff frequency for measurements can be as low as 0.005 Hz. A DC-sensitive angular rate sensor or gyroscope has a more complex design and uses measurement of Coriolis acceleration to determine angular rate..

  6. Vibrating structure gyroscope - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vibrating_structure_gyroscope

    Vibrating structure gyroscope. A vibrating structure gyroscope (VSG), defined by the IEEE as a Coriolis vibratory gyroscope (CVG), [1] is a gyroscope that uses a vibrating structure to determine the rate of rotation. A vibrating structure gyroscope functions much like the halteres of flies (insects in the order Diptera).

  7. Inertial navigation system - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Inertial_navigation_system

    An inertial navigation system (INS; also inertial guidance system, inertial instrument) is a navigation device that uses motion sensors (accelerometers), rotation sensors (gyroscopes) and a computer to continuously calculate by dead reckoning the position, the orientation, and the velocity (direction and speed of movement) of a moving object ...

  8. Yaw-rate sensor - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yaw-rate_sensor

    Yaw-rate sensor. A yaw-rate sensor is a gyroscopic device that measures a vehicle's yaw rate, its angular velocity around its vertical axis. The angle between the vehicle's heading and velocity is called its slip angle, which is related to the yaw rate. [1]

  9. Fibre-optic gyroscope - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fibre-optic_gyroscope

    A looped fibre-optic coil multiplies the effective area by the number of loops. A fibre-optic gyroscope (FOG) senses changes in orientation using the Sagnac effect, thus performing the function of a mechanical gyroscope. However its principle of operation is instead based on the interference of light which has passed through a coil of optical ...
