6-DoF inertial sensor improves machine control
The SCH16T-K01 inertial sensor from Murata combines an XYZ-axis gyroscope and XYZ-axis accelerometer in a robust SOIC package. Based on the company’s capacitive 3D-MEMS process, the device achieves centimeter-level accuracy in machine dynamics and position sensing, even in harsh environments.
The SCH16T-K01 provides an angular rate measurement range of ±300°/s and an acceleration measurement range of ±8 g. A redundant digital accelerometer channel offers a dynamic range of up to ±26 g, which offers resistance against saturation and vibration. Gyro bias instability is typically 0.5°/h. According to the company, the component overall exhibits excellent linearity and offset stability over the entire operating temperature range of -40°C to +110°C.
Other features of the industrial sensor include a SafeSPI V2.0 digital interface, self-diagnostics, and options for output interpolation and decimation. Housed in a 12×14×3-mm, 24-pin SOIC plastic package, the SCH16T-K01 is suitable for lead-free soldering and SMD mounting.
