MURATA ELECTRONICS OY

Company Overview

Founded in 1991, Murata Electronics Oy designs and manufactures silicon capacitive sensors. The company also provides accelerometers, inclinometers, gyroscopes, and sensor elements and dies. Its products are used in automotive, healthcare, industrial and measurement instruments, avionics and automotive safety applications.

Murata’s single-, dual- and three-axis low-g accelerometers offer good offset stability, inert gas damping, and digital and analog interface options, all the features ideal for harsh environmental conditions in automotive and industrial applications. Murata’s inclinometers are used for leveling and inclination measurement instruments, and they offer the best shock durability for machinery, transportation and handheld industrial devices. Murata’s industrial gyroscopes, utilizing 3D MEMS technology, offer near tactical-grade performance through superior angular rate bias stability over temperature and time, and they are key components in Murata’s popular combo sensors used in safety critical automotive and industrial applications. Murata’s Combo sensors bring Murata’s 3-axis accelerometer and 1-axis gyro together in one package to achieve an accurate and rugged complete motion-sensing solution for safety critical applications (e.g., vehicle stability control) and industrial applications (e.g., precision agriculture).

Murata recently acquired VTI Technologies, a pioneer in 3D MEMS technology, and renamed it Murata Electronics Oy to make it an integral part of Murata. Murata Electronics Oy has operated as a subsidiary of Murata Electronics Europe BV since Jan. 30, 2012.
