Combined Gyro Sensor and Accelerometer
SCH16T Series (Industry)
The SCH16T series offers the best available single package 6DoF performance for industrial applications. The series includes two variants: SCH16T-K01 is suitable for measurements that require high performance from the gyroscope, and SCH16T-K10 is suitable for measurements that require a large range from the gyroscope. The series has excellent linearity and offset stability over full temperature and measurement range, allowing centimeter-level accuracy in machine dynamics and position sensing even in harsh environments.
