Tronics
MEMS sensors solutions
Precise motion sensing, positioning, navigation and condition monitoring
of critical assets in transportation, energy and industrial markets
Tronics Microsystems, a TDK Group Company, is a provider of inertial MEMS (Micro-Electro-Mechanical-System) sensors solutions for precise motion sensing, positioning, navigation and condition monitoring of critical assets.
The company offers a comprehensive range of accelerometers, gyroscopes, vibration sensors and inertial MEMS foundry services, contributing to the digital transformation of transportation, energy and industrial markets.
MEMS sensing solutions for land, air, sea, and factories
Dynamic systems operating in severe temperature and vibrations conditions require precise and stable inertial data for attitude and motion control, stabilization, positioning, and navigation. Tronics’ high performance digital MEMS inertial sensors bring a reliable, accurate and low-SWaP sensing solution to land, air, sea and underground applications exposed to harsh thermal environments, high operational shocks and extreme vibrations. Our digital MEMS accelerometers and gyroscopes are integrated into high-performance IMU (Inertial Measurement Units), INS (Inertial Navigation Systems), AHRS (Attitude and Heading Reference Systems) as well as directional modules used in avionics, railway, energy, land, and marine applications with ever-increasing stability, repeatability and robustness requirements.
Have a look at our application pages to discover how Tronics’ GYPRO and AXO sensors provide a low-SWaP and digital alternative to tactical-grade FOG (Fiber Optic Gyros) and quartz accelerometers.
Vibration sensing for asset Condition-based Monitoring
Many industries rely on large rotating equipment such as spindle, motor, pump, fan, gearbox, compressor or generator. Any unexpected equipment downtime could generate large losses. Vibration is one of the earliest signs to figure out the state of wear of various mechanical part. However due to the high complexity of vibration signals, such measurements are most often carried out at dedicated period of time by service providers.
Embedded onto equipment and connected to Industrial IoT network, accelerometers enable a continuous vibration monitoring of industrial machine. With an extended frequency bandwidth combined with high g dynamic, Tronics’ MEMS accelerometer can detect early signs of failure such as unbalance, misalignment, bearing or gearing issue. Digital output of raw signals or edge machine health indicators directly delivers actionable data to maintenance players.
Acting as a real machine vibration stethoscope, Tronics’ MEMS accelerometer support the transformation of equipment maintenance’s policies from preventive to predictive maintenance or condition-based monitoring, improving machine uptime, reducing maintenance cost or keeping process quality constant.
