Announces All New G100Z Ultra Low Noise and High Bandwidth MEMS Gyro
ARW Noise is Low as 0.125°/√hr - Comparable to Small Ring Laser Gyros and Small Open-Loop FOG's at Much Lower Cost |
|
August 3, 2010 – Gladiator Technologies announced today their newest and lowest noise MEMS gyro, the G100Z. This high performance "LN Series" inertial sensor from Gladiator builds upon the successful heritage of our previous generation MEMS gyros, including the popular G50Z gyro. Like it's predecessors, the all analog gyro offers a combination of low noise with exceptionally high bandwidth as well as superb in-run bias. The unit is nearly form, fit and function interchangeable with the G50Z with the exception of higher power consumption. Designed with Finite Element Analysis (FEA) software, the unit is designed for demanding commercial applications and environments and is packaged in a rugged black anodized machined aluminum enclosure including a MILSPEC connector for environmental sealing and EMI resistance.The G100Z Gyro has many advanced performance features including: |
- Low Gyro Noise 0.003°/sec/√Hz typical
- In-Run Gyro Bias 4°/hour 1σ
- Wide Bandwidth 500Hz
- Simple Analog In/Out
- Bias Over Temperature (unmodelled) ≤0.1°/sec 2σ
- Misalignment (unmodelled) ≤4mrad typical
- G-Sensitivity (unmodelled) <0.05°/sec/g typical
- Low Power < 115mA typical
- Light Weight <34 grams
- Low Voltage +5V (single sided power)
- Built-In-Test (BIT)
- Shock Resistant 500g
- Vibration 6gRMS (20Hz to 2KHz Flat)
- Internal Temperature Sensor
- High MTBF
- Export U.S. Commerce ECCN7A994
- Link to datasheet and sample test data

Ultra Low Noise and High Bandwidth G100Z Gyro |
Gladiator Technologies' all new "LN Series" (Low Noise) inertial technology features a family of low noise gyros, accelerometers and inertial system products that are available in various performance ranges. The "LN Series" ARW gyro noise on the G100Z is offered as low as 0.003°/sec/√Hz (0.125°/√hr) with bandwidth of 500Hz. The G100Z is also offered in all of the systems in the LandMark™30 family of products.
Gladiator's CEO, Mark Chamberlain, remarked, "The G100Z gyro represents our latest generation of high performance inertial technology that has evolved from more than 5 years of continued investment in research and product development. This new gyro both complements our popular G50Z gyro, which continues to win applications throughout the world, while offering the next level up in performance to our global customer base. Here at Gladiator, our customers drive our development activities and they wanted two primary things in our next generation gyro, lower noise and increased bandwidth. We believe we have delivered just that with this gyro. The G100Z is a game-changer as it offers performance comminserate with small RLG's and FOG's, but at much lower cost, lighter weight and lower power consumption.The unit is ideal for demanding platform and image stabiliziation applications including airborne or marine Electro-Optic, Infra-Red and Laser. "
Gladiator uses state-of-the-art design tools and manufacturing processes including fully automated environmental and temperature testing and proprietary calibration methods for environmental performance optimization. A comprehensive ERP system combined with lean manufacturing and six sigma techniques has enabled high volume production at low cost and high quality. Gladiator's quality system is certified to AS9100B/ISO9001:2000.
