The GV7 series of inertial sensors offers improved performance and functionality over the GX5 series while maintaining the same compact size and easy-to-replace design. This upgrade is ideal for those seeking higher accuracy and additional features.
The Best Gets Even Better: Upgrading from a GX5 to a GV7
The GX5 series of inertial sensors have long been a benchmark for performance in various industrial applications. However, with the launch of the GV7 series, things have just gotten better. If you're wondering what benefits this upgrade brings and how the two sensor families compare, here's a comprehensive look at why upgrading from a GX5 to a GV7 is worth considering.
Improved Performance, More Functionality, Same Size
The GV7 is designed to make upgrading from the GX5 easy and seamless. Thanks to its identical footprint and precision mounting holes, you can replace a GX5 with a GV7 without worrying about major design overhauls or adjustments.
Recognizing the critical importance of size, weight, and power efficiency in modern applications, the GV7 maintains a compact form while delivering the industry-leading performance you expect. It is small, light, and efficient, making it ideal for modern, high-performance applications without compromising quality.
