MEMS inertial sensors for drilling and survey instruments

Tools for mining, oil and gas exploration and exploitation require exceptionally dependable inertial sensors that can provide accurate data even in difficult operating conditions. With their excellent performances at a fraction of the cost, size, and power consumption of FOG (Fiber Optic Gyros) and bulky, expensive analog quartz accelerometers, MEMS technologies provide a trustworthy, low-SWaP, and cost-effective alternative.

Learn about the AXO®315 high performance digital MEMS accelerometer and the GYPRO®4300 high stability digital MEMS gyroscope. These sensors both use a closed-loop architecture to achieve outstanding vibration rectification error and extremely linear response, allowing precision for tool orientation and guidance even in the presence of significant vibrations and shocks.
