Rate of Rotation Sensors
At the heart of vehicle safety systems is the inertial-rate sensor, which provides safety-critical measurement data to the system. Systron Donner Automotive’s patented MicroGyro accomplishes this feat with unmatched precision and reliability. This translates to guaranteed performance, reduced installation costs and complexity, and ultimately safer vehicles. Ideal for everything from Electronic Stability Control (ESC) to rollover systems to lane-keeping, navigation and more, the MicroGyro is as versatile as it is cost-effective.
