Product Description:
The KLCG50, or Low Cost Gyro 50, is a small PC board featuring a single-axis angular velocity sensor that utilizes MEMS (micro-electro-mechanical System) technology. This sensor is a self-contained unit that only requires one DC voltage input to measure the angular rate.
The LCG50 is primarily designed for embedded applications that demand installation versatility, robustness, and affordability. Despite being available at a low unit price, the performance characteristics of this sensor are impressive enough to match those of more expensive instrument-grade rate sensors.
By using this sensor, developers can save both development time and money without sacrificing performance.
The LCG50 is an ideal solution for a wide range of embedded applications, including robotics, drones, electronic stability control in automobiles, camera stabilization systems, and even navigation systems.
Thanks to its compact size and versatile installation options, the KLCG50 is also well-suited for applications where space is limited, making it highly adaptable to the needs of various projects.
