Inertial measurement unit ASC IMU 7-MF

Overview
The ASC IMU 7-MF is a 6-DOF inertial measurement unit (analog) providing separate analog voltage outputs for all six degrees of freedom. Built on MEMS accelerometers and MF (vibrating-ring) accelerometer technology combined with industrial-grade gyroscopes, the device uses a modular concept that enables configurable acceleration and angular-rate ranges per axis. Protection class is indicated as IP67 in descriptive text and IP65 in the specification widget.

Key features

• 6 degrees of freedom with separate analog voltage outputs
• Sensor technologies: capacitive MEMS and vibrating-ring (MF) accelerometers; industrial-grade gyroscopes
• Configurable measurement ranges per axis
• Power supply: 5–40 VDC
• Detachable cable with configurable length and connectors

Measurement ranges
Available acceleration and angular-rate combinations:

• Angular rate 75 °/s: acceleration ±2 g, ±5 g, ±10 g, ±30 g, ±50 g
• Angular rate 150 °/s: acceleration ±2 g, ±5 g, ±10 g, ±30 g, ±50 g
• Angular rate 300 °/s: acceleration ±2 g, ±5 g, ±10 g, ±30 g, ±50 g
• Angular rate 900 °/s: acceleration ±2 g, ±5 g, ±10 g, ±30 g, ±50 g

Technology
The IMU combines MEMS accelerometers and gyroscopes to detect linear accelerations and angular rates. MF (Medium Frequency) vibrating-ring accelerometers are paired with industrial-grade gyroscopes. Integrated electronics provide separate analog voltage outputs for each axis and the modular hardware concept permits flexible combination of measurement ranges.
