MV5-AR High Performance Attitude Reference and IMU Inertial Sensor
The MV5-AR is the most popular AR and IMU sensor available. Delivery of precision measurement for inclination, tilt, acceleration, and angular rate — in many challenging vibration and widely-varying temperature environments. The MV5-AR includes a sophisticated auto-adaptive Kalman Filter for precise and accurate data.
ML5-AR Gyro Stabilized Inclinometer and IMU Inertial Sensors
The ML5-AR features extremely accurate temperature-compensated inertial measurement with a gyro-stabilized, auto-adaptive extended Kalman Filter at a discounted cost. It comes in a compact size – L 80 mm | W 55 mm | H 24 mm and wide 4.5 to 36 V dc input range with CAN J1939 or CANopen communication protocol. It offers a single-part solution for precision pitch, roll, angular rate and acceleration measurements.
