tech.com DTS: Triaxial Angular Rate Sensor
Seal Beach, CA — DTS (Diversified Technical Systems, Inc.) has intro- duced its new ARS3 PRO Triaxial Angular Rate Sensor. With the new sensor, measuring the durability of a lever or capturing drive shaft speed in a manufacturing machine can be done without the need for a slip-ring. Life-cycle product testing, like a car door, is easy and portable with embedded DAS and a tiny sensor. The ARS3 PRO is especially suitable for testing products like sports hel- mets or hockey sticks that have tight space constraints, all without affect- ing the test dynamics. Unlike an accelerometer that
measures linear motion, the ARS3 PRO can be used to quantify virtual- ly any object’s position in space, which starts with angular rate meas- urement. The ARS3 PRO makes it easy to accurately measure high rates of angular velocity, even in excessive shock and vibration envi- ronments. Rugged and ultra-small, three angular rate sensors are pack- aged in a sealed enclosure capable of withstanding impacts up to 10000 g. The triax gyroscope measures
Precision Linear Stage from PI
Auburn, MA — PI’s new M-417 linear stage provides 500mm travel and half-micron resolution. This motor- ized precision positioner can be com- puter-controlled for automation and precision assembly applications. The linear translation stage can handle high duty cycles and provides a high velocity of 100mm/second. Precision recirculating ball bearings provide

guiding precision in the 100 µrad range over the complete travel range. The low friction ball screw with a
2mm thread pitch allows for mainte- nance-free operation and the integrat- ed highly efficient PWM servo amplifi- er improves cost efficiency while sim- plifying installation and operation; no extra amplifier is required. The M-417 can be driven by the company’s minia- ture, palm-top C-863 Mercury servo motion controller. An incremental optical rotary
encoder with 4000 counts/rev is in control of the position, providing uni- directional repeatability of 0.5µm. Non-contacting reference point and limit switches protect the mechanics from damage. The M-417 stage is 120mm wide
and 56mm high. Its stress-relieved aluminum base ensures the stage’s high stability. This low-profile posi- tioning stage is well suited for automa- tion and precision motion control
applications for science and industry. Contact: PI (Physik

just 19 x 19 x 12.5mm (0.75 x 0.75 x 0.49-in.) and weighs only 9g (0.35 oz). For applications requiring three independent sensors to measure pitch, roll and yaw, this design elim- inates the need for a mounting block that consumes additional space and adds weight. The result is a self-con- tained triaxial package that costs 25 percent less, is 50 percent smaller and 40 percent lighter than even three DTS ARS PROs combined in a mounting block. The sensors are available with
range options of ±300, 1500, 8K, 18K, 50k°/sec, a variety of bandwidths, DC response, up to 10,000 g shock rating,
and shunt check capabilities. The ARS3 PRO is suitable for high energy applications such as vehicle crash
safety, in-dummy testing, human impact studies, and aerospace and ballistics measurements. It also meets the latest U.S. government dynamic performance requirements. For sensor applications requir-
ing six degrees of freedom, DTS offers the 6DX PRO that has three angular rate sensors and three accelerometers in a rugged enclosure that measures 19 x 19 x 14.5mm and
weighs 12 grams. Contact: Diversified
