Introduction
This angular velocity sensor employs the principle that a Coriolis force results if an angular velocity
is applied to a vibrating object. Murata's unique ceramic bimorph vibrating unit is used as the
sensor element unit, thereby enabling piezoelectric ceramics to be used for both excitation and
detection. The use of this unit simplifies equipment structure and circuit configuration, thus making
it possible to provide outstanding performance.
This sensor can be used for positional control and posture control of a moving object requiring
high-precision measurements.

5. Installation
1) Install the sensor by using the bottom face as the reference point.
2) Install the sensor vertically with respect to the rotating surface. (90 +/- 5 deg )
3) Install the sensor in a location which minimizes excessive vibration (ex. Model helicopter
application) and use elastic materials to absorb external shock and vibration.
Typically, the sensor can withstand vibration that frequency 10~55Hz, amplitude 1.5mmp-p,
duration 2hours.
4) Install the sensor in a place which minimizes substantial temperature variations.
5) When installing the sensor, terminals should be hand soldered onto the PCB.
Observe the following guideline, otherwise, characteristics may vary due to excessive soldering
heat:
320 +/- 10deg C, 2s or less.
6) Do not bend terminals.

3 GND Ground [common]
4 OUT Sensor output [output]
7. Connection
1) Operation voltage is +2.7V to +5.5V.
Use a stabilized power supply free from surge and ripple voltages. Also, Confirm proper power
supply polarity before connecting sensor.
2) Output voltage is relative to the angular velocity.
Output voltage = V0 + Sv x ω[V]
V0 :Static output [V] (at angular velocity is 0 [deg/s])
Sv :Scale factor [mV/deg/s]
: Angular velocity [angular velocity range : -90 to +90 deg/s]
3) Use a sensor output load resistance of 50kΩor more.
4) Comparative voltage (Vref) must be grounded with condenser of 4.7µF or more.
5) Comparative voltage is used as a reference voltage of amplification. (Refer to page 7)

8. Notice
1) ENC-03J can detect angular velocity along only one axis.
When using more than one of the same type ENC-03J at the same time, swelling may result on the
output due to the mutual interference with sound waves of each sensing devices resonant
frequency. Therefore, there are 2 types of the ENC-03J. One is the ENC-03JA and other is
ENC-03JB. The ENC-03JA has the same specifications as the ENC-03JB with the exception of the
resonant frequencies. By using different frequencies, mutual interference can be avoided.
When detecting just one axis, select model ENC-03JA.
When detecting two axes, select models ENC-03JA and ENC-03JB.
When detecting three axes, select 2 pcs of ENC-03JA and 1pc of ENC-03JB and follow the bellow
guideline to avoid mutual interference:
Install one ENC-03JA on a separate PCB from the other installed ENC-03JA.
Even while both devices aremounted on separate PCB’s, it is critical that the two devices are still
kept apart as far as possible.
Use acoustical material in order to isolate the sound wave.

3) Bias and scale factor drift
Surrounding temperature variation may affect the sensor output (bias, scale factor). Sensor
should be mounted where temperature does not vary significantly.
When canceling bias drift, please refer to the following examples.
- Cut DC level along output by using a HPF (Hi-Pass-Filter) with a low cut-off frequency on the
sensor output. ( Refer to page 7)
9. Handling
1) Incorrect handling may affect the sensor characteristics. Please note the following precautions;
A. Do not subject the sensor to shocks which exceed the rated limit.
Typically, the sensor can withstand shock peak to 500G, duration 1msec, half sine wave.
B. Do not install or store the sensor in a location where condensation is likely to form on it.
C. Do not install or store the sensor in a location where water may splash directly on it.
D. Do not install or store the sensor in a location in which it is likely to be exposed to salt water or
corrosive vapor.
2) Precision electronic parts, such as ICs, are used for the sensor; therefore, it is necessary to take
anti-static precautions when handling.
3) Do not wash the sensor, as it is not water resistant.
4) Do not disassemble.

1) Positive voltage(+) and negative voltage(-) are obtained in the clockwise and counterclockwise
directions, respectively, with the static output as a reference.
2) Cut DC level of output using HPF (Hi-Pass-Filter) with low cut-off frequency on sensor output In
order to cancel bias drift. Cut-off frequency of HPF will affect measurement accuracy. Please
choose a proper cut-off frequency according to the application.
3) Always use an A/D converter of 8 bits or more. Resolution of A/D converter will affect
measurement accuracy . Please choose a proper resolution according to the application.
4) The sampling frequency used for measurement should be 50 times/sec minimum. Sampling
frequency will affect measurement accuracy . Please choose a proper sampling frequency
according to the application.
5) Please choose a proper amplification factor according to the application.
