3DM-CV5-IMU Product Photo

The MicroStrain 3DM-CX5-IMU is the smallest and lightest industrial IMU available. It features a fully calibrated and temperature compensated triaxial accelerometer and gyroscope to achieve the optimum combination of measurement qualities under all dynamic conditions. The 3DM-CX5-IMU is ideally suited for a wide range of applications, including platform stabilization, balancing robots, antenna pointing, and usage monitoring.

The CX product line has all the same features of the GX series in a cost-effective, system-integrator friendly package designed for volume production.
