Bosch +/- 100deg/s Gyroscopic accelerometer

-Compact system design with highly integrated electronics. -Insensitive to mechanical or electrical interference. -Simultaneous measurement of yaw rate and acceleration vertical to the rotary axis. -Extensive yaw-rate measuring range from 0.2...100 degrees per second (corresponds to 2...1,000 rotations per hour). -Capacitive measuring concept. The complete unit is comprised of a yaw sensor and an acceleration sensor, together with evaluation electronics. These components are all mounted on a hybrid and hermetically sealed in a metal housing. Application This sensor is used in automotive engineering for the vehicle dynamics control (Electronic Stability Program, ESP) and measures the vehicle’s rotation around its vertical axis, while at the same time measuring the acceleration at right angles to the driving direction. By electronically ervaluating the measured values, the sensor is able to differentiate between normal cornering and vehicle skidding movements.
