SCH16T Series Combined Gyro Sensor and Accelerometer
Murata SCH16T series (SCH16T-K01 and SCH16T-K10) offers available single package 6DoF performance for industrial applications. The series includes two variants: SCH16T-K01 for high performance gyroscope measurement and SCH16T-K10 for high rotation speed measurement. The series has excellent and offset stability over full temperature and measurement range, allowing centimeter-level accuracy in machine dynamics and position sensing even in harsh environments.
SCH16T-K01：
The SCH16T-K01 includes a sophisticated gyro with typical bias instability of 0.5dph and up to 0.3mdps/√Hz noise density. The accelerometer has a dynamic range of up to 26g, which provides resistance against saturation and vibration. Overall, the component exhibits excellent linearity and offset stability through the whole temperature range.
The component’s output is also internally cross-axis compensated, eliminating the need for extensive calibration at the user’s end. In addition, through the integration of these features, the SCH16T-K01 can deliver accurate measurements in machine control and guidance without needing field calibrations.
The SCH16T-K01 is ideally suited to industrial applications and use cases such as construction and agricultural machines, material handling equipment, and marine instrumentation.
SCH16T-K10：
The SCH16T-K10 features an impressive 2000 degrees per second (dps) gyroscope measurement range and a 16g accelerometer measurement range. These specifications ensure that measurements remain accurate and unsaturated even in dynamic conditions, making it ideal for drone navigation and other high-performance robotics applications. The sensor's market-leading vibration rectification capability allows precise measurements in vibrating environments, while its mechanical robustness ensures durability under high shocks.
Murata’s proprietary 3D MEMS process is enables us to manufacture robust and stable capacitive sensors with low noise levels—key contributors to Murata's market-leading performance. Furthermore, the inclusion of an advanced ASIC for sensing and control ensures the reliability and precision of the MEMS elements.
For industries demanding over 1000 dps gyroscope measurement range IMUs in harsh environments the SCH16T-K10 is good choice, combining state-of-the-art technology with Murata’s commitment to quality and precision engineering.
