The ARS3 PRO triaxialangular rate sensor from DTS (Diversified Technical Systems, Inc.) permits measuringthe durability of a lever or capturing driveshaft speed in a manufacturingmachine without the need for a slip-ring. According to DTS, lifecycle product testing,for instance with a car door, is easy and portable with embedded DAS and a tiny sensor. Measuring 19 x 19 x 12.5 mm (0.75 x 0.75x 0.49 in) with a weight of 9 g (0.35 oz), the ARS3 PRO is suitable for high-energy applications such as vehicle crash safety, in-dummy testing, humanimpact studies, and aerospace and ballistics measurements. Unlike anaccelerometer that measures linear motion, the ARS3 PRO can be used to quantifyvirtually any object"s position in space, which starts with angular ratemeasurement. The ARS3 PRO makes it easy to accurately measure high rates ofangular velocity, even in excessive shock and vibration environments, claimsthe company.
