Silicon Designs is heading to Novi, Michigan, for Automotive Testing Expo North America, October 27–29, 2026. The expo is part of Vehicle Tech Week North America and brings together the engineers and decision-makers behind vehicle testing and validation, ADAS, NVH, powertrain, simulation, and data acquisition.
Stop by Booth T1100 and see MEMS DC accelerometers tough enough for crash testing and sensitive enough to pick up the subtlest suspension movement. Got a test that’s pushing your sensors to their limits? Bring it with you and we’ll talk through it.
Why Use DC Response Accelerometers for Vehicle Dynamics Testing?
In vehicle dynamics testing, much of the motion that matters happens at low frequencies: body roll, pitch during braking, and sustained cornering loads. Piezoelectric sensors can’t hold a steady-state reading. Our MEMS DC accelerometers measure from DC upward, so you capture the whole event and not just the vibration riding on top of it.
How Are MEMS DC Accelerometers Used in Automotive Testing?
- Suspension testing: Low-frequency accuracy captures the body and wheel motion that defines ride and handling.
- Road testing and track simulation: Rugged sensors and portable systems handle road load data acquisition, with repeatable results that help correlate rig and track testing.
- EV testing: Stable performance across wide temperature swings supports vibration and durability measurement on battery packs, motor mounts, and powertrain components.
- Crash testing: Shock-resistant MEMS accelerometers capture the full crash pulse, including the sustained deceleration that piezo sensors can miss.
Why Do Test Engineers Choose Silicon Designs?
We’ve built test and measurement MEMS accelerometers for decades, and we design and manufacture every one in-house. That gives us tight quality control and the flexibility to customize ranges, calibration, and configurations for your application. We build everything in the US, and most standard models ship within one to two weeks, so your test schedule doesn’t wait on accelerometers.
Visit us at Booth T1100 to get hands-on with our accelerometers and meet the engineers who design them.
