Gyro Inclinometer

Product info

Gyro-inclinometer not only provides roll and pitch attitude angles in static conditions, but also outputs relative roll, pitch, and heading increment angles or angular rates during high dynamic tests.

General inclinometers based on accelerometer or electrolyte principles are often affected by additional axial and centripetal accelerations from rapid movements, reducing measurement accuracy.
However, gyroscopes have strong dynamic characteristics, are unaffected by acceleration, and output angular rate and relative angular increments under motion.
In low-frequency quasi-static conditions, the inclinometer provides accurate measurements while the gyroscope’s drift is negligible.

By combining the good quasi-static characteristics of inclinometers with the dynamic capabilities of gyroscopes, the gyro-inclinometer perfectly integrates both technologies to adapt to dynamic and quasi-static angle measurements.

Available configurations include:

• Single inclinometer + Z-axis gyroscope (analog/digital output)
• Dual inclinometer + Z-axis gyroscope (analog/digital output)
• Dual inclinometer + Y-axis gyroscope (analog/digital output)
• Dual inclinometer + X/Y-axis gyroscope (analog/digital output)
• Dual inclinometer + X/Y/Z-axis gyroscope (analog/digital output)

Vigor also provides customized gyroscope performance per application requirements.

Features

• ±0.02%FS linearity and ±0.005° offset — high zero accuracy with large measurement range
• Gyro bias stability ±0.02°/s, 50Hz bandwidth — fast and accurate relative angle and angular rate measurement
• Relative angle and angular rate unaffected by external acceleration
• Static and dynamic angle measurement suitable for slow or rapid platform leveling
• Integrated vibration module for real-time FFT computations — directly outputs vibration frequency and amplitude, compensating environmental vibration effects
• Precise alignment and calibration of inclination and gyro axes ensuring simultaneous sampling within the same coordinate system
• Enhanced intelligent algorithms minimize cross-axis sensitivity and improve true tilt accuracy
• Reduced measurement errors when the real tilt direction differs from the sensitive axis
• Short-circuit, transient voltage, and polarity protection for industrial environments
• Configurable parameters and factory data accessible via digital interface

Applications: Factory automation, agricultural and construction machinery, rail transportation, road traffic, robotics, vehicle systems, weapons platforms, satellite communication, and photoelectric stabilization platforms.
