SBG Systems Pulse-40: A Miniature 6-DoF Tactical-Grade IMU Sensor
Bias In-Run Instability:
6µg for Acc.and 0.8°/hr for Gyro.
Pulse-40 IMU is a miniature tactical-grade Inertial Measurement Unit that embeds low noise gyroscopes and accelerometers to deliver optimal performance in applications where precision and robustness matter in all conditions. It has been engineered with redundant sensor design that improves data robustness, as it performs continuous built-in-test (CBIT). This make Pulse-40 IMU sensor ideal for critical applications.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the Pulse-40?
6µg for Acc.and 0.8°/hr for Gyro. Pulse-40 IMU is a miniature tactical-grade Inertial Measurement Unit that embeds low noise gyroscopes and accelerometers to deliver optimal performance in applications where precision and robustness matter in all conditions.
What does an IMU like the Pulse-40 measure?
The Pulse-40 measures angular rate and linear acceleration on three axes. Fused with GNSS or used in an AHRS/INS, this enables orientation, stabilization and navigation even when satellite signals are unavailable.
Where is the Pulse-40 available?
The Pulse-40 is available through Leo Drive in the following region: Turkey. For other regions, please contact Leo Drive.
