Measuring angular velocity in high shock and vibration test environments can be challenging. The miniature ARS PRO angular rate sensor by DTS is designed to capture precision angular rate data in high energy environments like crash and blast testing. The silicon-based MEMS resonating gyro is packaged in a rugged aluminum enclosure, weighs only 2.2 grams […]
New Miniature IP68 Rated Data Recorder
The new SLICE IP68 data acquisition system is designed to capture physical signals in challenging environments. Targeted at applications with size or mass constraints, SLICE IP68’s 60 x 60 mm footprint makes it easy to embed in most test articles. The rugged housing is impervious to shock, water and dust, making SLICE ideal for testing in inclement…
Small sensor with six degrees of freedom
When it comes to measuring high rates of shock and angular velocity for crash, blast and impact testing, the 6DX PRO may fit the need. These sensors come in a shock-hardened enclosure that’s as small as the diameter of a penny. Weighing only 12 g, they terminate to a single triaxial connector. The six degrees-of-freedom…
