Inertial & Navigation Sensors

Our Inertial & Navigation Sensors provide the critical data needed for precise movement tracking and orientation. Built for aerospace, defense, robotics, and industrial applications, these sensors deliver reliability and accuracy under extreme conditions. Whether keeping an aircraft level, guiding an autonomous vehicle, or monitoring machinery, you'll find a sensor solution tailored to the task.

MEMS Accelerometers

Compact MEMS accelerometers that measure linear acceleration and tilt on one or multiple axes. These tiny sensors are low-power and rugged, suitable for integration into drones, vehicles, and handheld devices. They detect everything from subtle vibrations to sudden shocks, helping systems perform functions like motion detection, impact monitoring, or angle measurement in a wide range of environments.

Quartz & High-G Accelerometers

Specialized accelerometers using quartz or other technologies to endure extreme forces and provide highly stable measurements. High-G accelerometers in this category can survive and measure very large shocks (hundreds or thousands of G's), making them ideal for munitions testing, crash recorders, and downhole drilling tools. Their precision and durability also support critical navigation systems where standard MEMS devices might reach their limits.

MEMS Gyroscopes

Miniature MEMS gyroscopes for sensing rotation rate around axes, crucial for stabilizing and orienting everything from UAVs to industrial equipment. These solid-state gyros offer a good balance of precision and compact size. Often used alongside accelerometers, they help correct course, stabilize cameras, and maintain heading. They are designed to be low-drift for short-term accuracy and easily interface with digital controllers.

Fiber-Optic Gyroscopes

High-precision gyroscopes that use light (fiber optic technology) to detect extremely subtle rotation rates. With no moving parts, Fiber-Optic Gyros (FOGs) provide exceptional stability and low drift over time, making them ideal for aircraft, naval vessels, and high-end inertial navigation systems. They deliver accurate orientation data even over long missions and in harsh conditions, supporting applications where every degree counts.

MEMS IMU Modules

Integrated MEMS Inertial Measurement Units combining multi-axis accelerometers and gyroscopes (and sometimes magnetometers) in one package. These IMU modules output comprehensive motion data (often 6 or 9 degrees of freedom) that can be fed into autopilots, stabilizers, or tracking systems. Compact and easy to integrate, they are a go-to solution for drone flight controllers, robotics systems, and any platform requiring a full suite of inertial data with minimal size and weight.

Attitude & Heading Reference Systems (AHRS / VRU)

Complete attitude and heading reference units that provide ready-to-use orientation data. Using a fusion of accelerometers, gyros, and magnetometers, AHRS units output roll, pitch, and yaw (heading) angles, whereas Vertical Reference Units (VRUs) focus on roll and pitch. Commonly used in avionics, marine navigation, and autonomous vehicles, these systems deliver drift-corrected, stabilized orientation readings. They interface via standard protocols, making it straightforward to add reliable attitude data to your platform.

Integrated INS-GNSS Systems

Advanced navigation systems combining inertial sensors with GNSS (GPS, GLONASS, etc.) receivers for accurate positioning and orientation. An INS-GNSS system uses gyro and accelerometer data to fill in gaps when satellite signals are lost or jammed, ensuring continuous navigation. These integrated units are found in aircraft, missiles, and survey vehicles where they provide centimeter-level positioning and orientation that remains robust even under GPS-denied conditions.

Tilt & Inclination Sensors

Sensors dedicated to measuring tilt or inclination relative to gravity. Often simple to set up, they give an analog or digital output corresponding to an angle, making them perfect for platform leveling, crane safety systems, or alignment tasks. Rugged and straightforward, these inclinometers are used in construction equipment, marine platforms, and anywhere knowing the precise angle is key. They offer long-term stability and are typically immune to magnetic interference, focusing purely on gravitational reference.

Vibration & Condition Monitoring Sensors

Sensors and accelerometers optimized for detecting vibration and machine condition. They help in predictive maintenance by capturing vibration signatures of motors, engines, or structures to identify imbalance, misalignment, or wear. Designed for durability and accuracy, these sensors often come with mounting features for machinery and produce data that can be fed into condition monitoring systems or IoT platforms. This allows maintenance teams to predict issues before failures occur, saving time and costs.

Interface & Conversion Boards

Interface boards and converters that simplify connecting sensors to your systems. They handle tasks like analog-to-digital conversion, signal conditioning, or translating sensor outputs to standard bus protocols (such as CAN, USB, or UART). By providing the right connectors and voltage regulation, these boards ensure your accelerometers, gyros, and other sensors can communicate effectively with data loggers, controllers, or computers. They reduce development time by offering plug-and-play compatibility with many common sensor types.

Display & Control Instruments

Instruments that display sensor readings or provide control interfaces for navigation systems. Examples include digital inclination displays, attitude indicators, or portable readout units for vibration sensors. Built to be visible in various lighting conditions and often hardened for field use, these devices let users monitor critical parameters like tilt angle, heading, or vibration levels in real-time. Some also offer controls for calibrating sensors or adjusting settings, streamlining the management of complex inertial systems.
