Inertial Measurement Units

Based on the broad portfolio of inertial sensors, LITEF can flexibly create customized, 6-axis inertial measurement units. The most difficult requirements in terms of accuracy, form factor and interfaces can be met.

Custom configurable
long life cycle
without periodic maintenance

Tailor-made

The inertial sensors from LITEF enable tailor-made solutions for a wide range of tasks.

Flexible

IMUs can be created using both MEMS and FOG technology.

IMUs Detail

IMUS units comprise three gyro axes for rotational measurement, three accelerometer axes for the measurement of linear acceleration, a processor card, a power unit and a housing with connectors and other mechanical components. Other configurations are possible and can be developed easily on the basis of the modular inertial sensor concept.

The advantage of technology is that individual requirements can be satisfied easily and quickly.

Stabilization of platforms

Solutions for systems with stringent requirements – such as navigation and attitude-heading reference systems – are achieved through the integration of navigation software and the connection of GPS to the IMU.

Free of moving parts, IMUs are resistant to shock and to high levels of vibration. They are extremely reliable and have a long service life without periodic maintenance which reduces life cycle costs.
