ASC IMU 8.X.Y Inertial Measurement Unit (IMU)

Perfect for high-precision positioning in a wide variety of applications


About the ASC IMU 8.X.Y Inertial Measurement Unit (IMU)

The inertial measurement unit (IMU) is based on proven MEMS accelerometers and gyroscopes for detecting the smallest linear accelerations and angular rates. The integrated electronic circuitry enables separate analog voltage outputs for all 6 degrees of freedom and flexible power supply voltage from 8 to 30 VDC. The ASC IMU 8 features outstanding in-run bias stability (<45 μg) of the integrated accelerometers. In addition, the gyroscopes providing FOG-like performance based on minimum angular random walk of <0.01 °/√hr and a bias stability of <0.1 °/hr.

The IMU feature a lightweight, reliable aluminum housing with protection class IP65 and a detachable connector cable with configurable length and connectors.

The ASC IMU 8 enables high-precision position measurements and bridging navigation in numerous areas of application, such as automated guided vehicles, ship guidance and control, robots, rail vehicles or aircraft systems.
