Angular Velocity Sensors

Sensors are devices that are used to detect and measure physical quantities such as temperature, pressure, force, or motion. Sensors are used in a wide range of applications, such as in consumer electronics, industrial automation, and in many other fields. Angular velocity sensors are a type of sensor that are used to measure the rotational speed or rate of change of orientation of an object. These sensors can be used to measure the speed of a spinning shaft, the rate of yaw or pitch of an aircraft, or the rotational speed of any other object. Angular velocity sensors typically use a spinning mass or a vibrating element to detect the rotational motion, and can be based on a variety of technologies, such as mechanical, optical, or electronic.
