SYD Dynamics offers standard products as well as complete motion and navigation solutions. The TransducerM product line consists of standard units for IMU / AHRS / INS applications.
SYD Dynamics TransducerM is a complete solution for motion sensing applications, capable of providing computed data for determining orientation of an object in 3D space.
Out-of-box, it provides orientation data in terms of Euler angles, Quaternion, and, most commonly used Roll/Pitch/Yaw all of which can be computed with the reference to world frame (based on Earth’s magnetic field and gravity direction). It can also output calibrated raw sensor data, including angular rate, acceleration and magnetometer measurement [1].
Magnetometer is equipped with 'Active Magnetic Field Compensator' to detect and remove disturbances and ensure stable heading.
TransducerM TM100 with OEM circuit board design. Providing inertial measurement reference data and with Serial interface. Target applications: electronics on volume production. The compact size allows for easy integration. Customized designs are also possible.
TransducerM TM200 with aluminum enclosure and better performance than the OEM version. Medium level shock resistance and configurable motion profile. It provides inertial measurement reference data and with its Serial interface. Target applications: Consumer products, laboratory, robotics, hobby and education.
TransducerM TM352/TM353 with performance and rugged design. Providing inertial measurement reference data and with Serial and CAN Bus interfaces. Target applications: Indoor and outdoor autonomous vehicles, robotics, and drones. Features shock resistance design, motion profile configuration and calibration software interface for better performance with ground vehicles on heading stability.
TransducerM TM500 High-Performance-Series with or without rugged design. Providing high accuracy inertial measurement reference data with Serial RS422, USB 2.0 and CAN Bus interfaces. Target applications: Indoor and outdoor autonomous vehicles, robotics and drones under strong vibration with wide operation temperature range; precision motion measurement.
