Silicon Designs Announces New Low-Cost Universal Triaxial Accelerometer  While other companies increase prices and cut production, SDI’s new low-cost accelerometer breaks out of the usual mold, saving customers both time and money. Issaquah, WA - April 16, 2009 - Silicon Designs, Inc. announces a new triaxial accelerometer that meets the market’s needs for a rugged, easy-to use tool for measuring shock and vibration. This universal module goes against the industry norm of specialization and instead will work in a wide variety of applications, saving valuable time and money for customers. Most companies design accelerometers for one or two purposes. The 2460 is unusual in that it was designed to be multifunctional across a broad range of applications. For example in an aerospace application, one 2460 could be used to monitor very low frequency flutter vibration or high frequency engine vibration. Mike Whiteman, the Application Engineer who spearheaded the 2460’s initial design requirements, was very excited to provide customers with this high degree of usefulness in a competitively priced package. “This product has so many possible uses. It really simplifies the purchasing aspect as well as the design, integration, and learning curve for the engineers.” Given its universal nature, the 2460 has been very warmly received at a time when both private sector companies and government agencies are looking to cut costs and increase efficiency. The new 2460 is in production and available now. Custom specifications and quantity discounts are available. All of SDI’s products are made in the USA. For more information on the 2460 and SDI’s complete product catalog, see www.silicondesigns.com. About Silicon Designs, Inc.: Since its inception in 1983, SDI’s core competency has always been accelerometers and the philosophy of "Make it better, stronger, smaller, and less expensive" is maintained to this day. SDI was awarded the prestigious Tibbetts Award in 1997 by the Small Business Administration and was inducted into the Space Technology Hall of Fame in 1999. SDI specializes in commercial-grade accelerometers such as those used in automobile crash detection and stability testing, identifying unusual vibrations in race cars and airplane engines, and monitoring structural integrity in bridges, hydroelectric power generators, and wind farm turbines. SDI’s miniature accelerometer technology is currently used by the US Military, NASA, and in the automotive, transportation, and agricultural industries. |
