Parker's C-series inertial sensor package provides an OEM form-factor that is optimized for size and weight in Off Highway, Unmanned Ground Vehicles/Mobile Robots and Unmanned Aerial Systems. It’s compact and low-profile anodized aluminum housing can be connected directly to a printed circuit board using a UART header or a Samtec FFSD ribbon cable and 2-56 fasteners. The C-series provides superior thermal and mechanical isolation compared to surface mount inertial sensors which are susceptible to board-induced stresses and poor hysteresis which can result in reduced accuracy and higher drift over time.

CX Series OEM Inertial Sensors
The CX series is an OEM version of our GX series and has identical performance and features at a much lower cost. The CX series of sensors is the top performer of our C-series OEM packaged devices. It features higher accuracy and stability over temperature than the CV line. As with the CV line, the CX is available as an IMU, AR, or AHRS. Additionally, we offer a GNSS/INS model with a 34 state Auto Adaptive EKF for outstanding position, velocity, and attitude performance.
CV Series OEM Inertial Sensors
The CV series of sensors offers lower cost, yet still high-performance inertial measurements in our C-series OEM package, which feature a very small, lightweight form factor. As with all our other inertial sensor families, these are available as an IMU, AR, or AHRS, allowing you to choose and pay for only the functionality you need. These sensors excel where high performance is desired at a low cost and are a great middle ground for the CX sensor lines.
