Inertial Measurement Units (IMU)

An Inertial Measurement Unit (IMU) is a sensor that measures both acceleration and rotational movement.

IMUs are essential for motion tracking and control systems, as they provide high-frequency motion data without external infrastructure, making them easy to use and immune to outside interference. They are now widely integrated across a variety of applications, from consumer electronics to aerospace systems. At SBG Systems, we offer reliable, high-performance IMUs designed for a broad spectrum of uses.

Inertial Navigation Systems (INS) and Attitude and Heading Reference Systems (AHRS) are key technologies for determining precise motion and orientation in dynamic environments. An INS combines accelerometers, gyroscopes, and often GNSS data to compute position, velocity, and orientation without external references. AHRS focuses specifically on delivering accurate roll, pitch, and heading information by fusing data from gyroscopes, accelerometers, and magnetometers. Together, these systems enable reliable navigation and control across a wide range of applications—from autonomous vehicles and aircraft to marine and industrial platforms.
