High-reliability gyros are uniquely suited to the demands of advanced automotive braking systems. Electronic Stability Control (ESC) works by continuously comparing the vehicle's actual direction with the driver's intended direction. (read more)

Watching satellite TV at home is nothing remarkable, watching it in the back of a moving car on the road or a rocking boat at sea is. So how does the antenna know where to point? Attaching gyroscopes which measure angular speed, the antenna can determine the direction & velocity of vehicle rotation very accurately. (read more)

Traditional spinning wheel mechanical gyroscopes in aircraft were great in their day, but they were big, heavy, expensive and, like all things that spin on bearings, they needed routine maintenance. Not the sort of device you want in your aeroplane unless you have no alternative (read more)

Enabling new products in markets such as robotics, navigation and stabilisation, this remarkable VSG (Vibrating Structure Gyro) sensor technology has increased awareness among control system designers of what gyros are capable of. The size, affordability and reliability of CRS03 MEMS gyros has proven itself, with over one million being produced & sold (read more)
