SCH16T‑K10 (Murata) Industrial‑Grade 6‑Axis IMU Inertial Measurement Unit, MEMS Inertial Sensor

Device Type: Industrial‑Grade 6‑Axis IMU (Inertial Measurement Unit, 6DoF), a MEMS inertial sensor integrating 3‑axis gyroscope and 3‑axis accelerometer.

Positioning: Ultra‑high‑range variant designed for devices with high‑speed rotation, violent motion and heavy vibration. It is the model with the maximum gyroscope measurement range within the SCH16T series. With automotive‑grade qualification, it is a complete single‑package solution with built‑in ASIC. Factory‑calibrated, no complex external compensation circuitry is required.
