ASC IMU 7.X.Y Inertial Measurement Unit (IMU)

6-axial system that measures linear and angular motion


About the ASC IMU 7.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 LN (Low Noise) accelerometers provide an outstanding noise performance from 7 to 50 μg/√Hz while the MF (Medium Frequency) accelerometers provide a wide frequency response range from 0 Hz to 4.5 kHz (±3 dB). The integrated electronic circuitry enables separate analog voltage outputs for all 6 degrees of freedom and flexible power supply voltage from 5 (LN) or 6 (MF) to 40 VDC. In addition, the gyroscopes providing a bias stability of 12 °/hr and an angular random walk of 0.2 °/√hr.

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

The compact design of the ASC IMU 7 allows its use in applications for evaluating the driving dynamics of ships, trains or motor vehicles. IMUs are also used in automated guided vehicles (AGV), where they help to optimize curve speed and to control driving performance.
