Silicon Sensing Systems Ltd has launched the CRG21, a compact Micro Electro-Mechanical Systems (MEMS) gyroscope designed for operation in harsh environments.
The closed-loop, single-axis rate sensor is a direct replacement for the company’s established CRG20 gyro, which is already proven in several key inertial systems. With an identical footprint to CRG20, the new device provides a straightforward plug-and-play retrofit.
CRG21 is a fully integrated, single-chip digital solution measuring 9.5 x 9 x 3.4mm. Its compact design helps minimise space and weight requirements while lowering overall inertial system costs.
Available in multiple rate ranges and bandwidths to meet a wide range of requirements, CRG21 can operate at temperatures from -40°C to +105°C. The sensor also provides outstanding shock resistance, exceptional angular random walk and bias over temperature, and sustained low-noise performance.
Kevin Swain, Head of Sales and Business Development of Silicon Sensing Systems Ltd, said, “CRG21 builds on the capabilities that made our CRG20 the gyro of choice for several critical aerospace, defence, industrial and automotive programmes, extending its outstanding resistance to shock and vibration.”
