Precision Motion Sensors

Compact MEMS-based heading and tilt sensors for robotics, industrial automation, and precision navigation.

Compact Sensors for Heading & Tilt

Aeron's Motion Sensors family covers two distinct measurement needs on a single, compact MEMS platform: the GALILEO GLO-DMC300 digital magnetic compass for magnetic heading, and the Vega TSW-G tilt switch with gyroscope for roll and pitch angle sensing. Both combine MEMS sensing with onboard signal processing to deliver stable, calibrated data over standard RS232 or RS485 interfaces.

Whichever measurement your system needs — heading for navigation and orientation, or tilt and inclination for stabilization and safety — each sensor ships factory-configured, is field-calibratable, and integrates directly into an external controller or PLC without a bulky navigation-grade system.

How Aeron Motion Sensors Work

GLO-DMC300 and Vega TSW-G measure different things — heading versus tilt — but both follow the same MEMS-sensing-to-digital-output architecture.

Engineered for Reliable Motion Sensing

Six core capabilities shared across Aeron's Motion Sensors family.

Precision MEMS Sensing
Every Aeron motion sensor pairs a MEMS accelerometer with a second sensing element — magnetometer or gyroscope — for accurate, repeatable output.
Digital RS232 / RS485 Interfaces
Standard serial interfaces integrate directly into an external controller, PLC, or data logger.
Configurable Output Rates
Update rates of 1, 10 or 20 Hz are user-configurable across the family to match the application.
Low Power Design
Both sensors are designed for low current draw, suited to battery- or bus-powered installations.
Compact, Rugged Enclosures
Compact metal enclosures are built to survive factory, automotive, and outdoor environments.
Bundled Configuration Software
A desktop utility handles configuration, calibration, and live data display for both sensors.
