New Xsens motion sensor module, which provides a cost-effective solution for functions such as stabilization and leveling, is easy to integrate into high-volume product designs thanks to its broad choice of interfaces and convenient socket connector
Enschede, Netherlands – June 26, 2025 – Xsens today announced the launch of Xsens Avior, a lightweight, OEM form factor inertial measurement unit (IMU) with a compact 36.8mm x 40mm footprint which offers enhanced performance in a wide variety of industrial and commercial applications.
The Xsens Avior is ideal for products manufactured in high volume thanks to its vertical 10x2-pin socket connector for simple board mounting, and its tolerance of any mounting orientation in all three axes. The product also eases design integration: it includes UART, CAN, SPI and I2C interfaces on-board, and supports RS232 and RS422 via the product's development kit or an external transceiver.
Xsens has integrated a new generation of sensing components in the Avior, as well as advanced analog filtering for higher stability and noise reduction, resulting in substantially better performance compared to the previous generation product. Heading accuracy is 1° RMS and roll and pitch accuracy is 0.2° RMS. Stability is also enhanced in the Xsens Avior: in-run bias stability in the gyroscope is 8°/hr, and accelerometer in-run bias stability is 15μg.
Weighing just 35.2g, the Xsens Avior is enclosed in a robust aluminum housing and has a rating of IP51 and an operating temperature range of -40°C to 85°C. The sensor's small size, light weight, high performance and robust construction provide outstanding value in applications such as:
Martina Ravizza, Product Manager at Xsens, said: "The Xsens Avior gives engineers a flexible, robust, and developer-friendly inertial sensing solution which is ready to scale. Whether an engineer is building a robotic system, autonomous vehicle, stabilized platform, or a smart mobility solution, Xsens Avior is a perfect fit for their design requirements."
Flexible product options
The new sensor is available in three versions:
The Xsens Avior is available in a ready-to-use hardware development kit, and is supplied with free software development kits supporting the C#/C++, Python, ROS 1 and ROS 2 and Matlab environments, as well as full documentation and step-by-step guides to design integration.
