Inertial measurement unit is stable in tough conditions
The IMU-1221-R02, developed by Analog Technologies is a compact inertial measurement unit (IMU) designed for motion and attitude tracking in dynamic environments.
The IMU is in stock at authorised distributor DigiKey.
Utilizing MEMS accelerometers and gyroscopes with advanced Kalman filtering, this IMU delivers precise angular velocity (±400°/s) and acceleration (±2 g) measurements.
Its rugged IP67-rated housing, wide temperature range (-40°C to +85°C), and compensation algorithms ensure stability in harsh conditions.
With RS232, RS485, and TTL output options, it integrates seamlessly into industrial and robotic systems. The IMU includes serial port debugging software for real-time data visualization and calibration.
The unit complies with national standards for static calibration (e.g., GB/T 191 SJ 20873-2003), and embedded temperature compensation ensures accuracy across extreme operating conditions.
Features include
- High gyro resolution: 0.01°/s
- Accelerometer resolution: 0.01 mg
- Wide operating voltage: 5 VDC
- Dynamic compensation (temperature, drift, quadrature)
- Compact size: 55 mm x 37 mm x 24 mm (2.165 inches x 1.46 inches x 0.94 inches)
- Four M4 screw mounting for secure installation
Applications cover autonomous guided vehicles (AGVs), marine survey and underwater robotics, unmanned aircraft stabilization, industrial robotics motion control, dump truck tilt monitoring, balance car stabilization systems and structural health monitoring platforms.
