Murata unveils the latest addition to its SCH16T series of 6-axis inertial measurement units (IMUs), the SCH16T-K10.
Building on the success of SCH16T-K01, announced January 2024, this new sensor version significantly enhances gyroscope capabilities, offering a dynamic range ten times greater than the SCH16T-K01. Specifically designed for high-demand applications such as drone flight controllers, the SCH16T-K10 provides unparalleled performance in challenging environments.
The SCH16T-K10 features an impressive 2000 degrees per second (dps) gyroscope measurement range and a 16g accelerometer measurement range. These specifications ensure that measurements remain accurate and unsaturated even in dynamic conditions, making it ideal for drone navigation and other high-performance robotics applications. The sensor’s market-leading vibration rectification capability allows precise measurements in vibrating environments, while its mechanical robustness ensures durability under high shocks.
Murata’s proprietary 3D MEMS process is enables us to manufacture robust and stable capacitive sensors with low noise levels—key contributors to Murata’s market-leading performance. Furthermore, the inclusion of an advanced ASIC for sensing and control ensures the reliability and precision of the MEMS elements.
The SCH16T series stands out in a competitive market due to its unmatched mechanical resilience and superior tolerance to vibrations compared to other MEMS sensors. Like the SCH16T-K01, the SCH16T-K10 sets new standards with its exceptional gyroscope noise characteristics and Allan deviation in its measurement range class.
For industries demanding over 1000 dps gyroscope measurement range IMUs in harsh environments the SCH16T-K10 is simply the best choice, combining state-of-the-art technology with Murata’s commitment to quality and precision engineering.
