In summary, Murata Electronics Oy’s MEMS sensor product offerings fall generally into three product lines: accelerometers, inclinometers, and gyroscopes. Accelerometers measure acceleration, changes in speed and/or changes in direction and are available with either analog or digital output. They can be used in safety critical automotive applications as well as industrial equipment. Inclinometers measure the angle of departure from true vertical or horizontal. They are high accuracy devices developed for use in heavy machinery, ground vehicles, aircraft, construction equipment, as well as hand-held devices. Gyroscopes sense the rotation of an object about an axis, and are commonly incorporated into aircraft, watercraft, and ground vehicles, plus they can be used in robotic systems for motion analysis, stabilization, guidance, and navigational control.
