ADVANCED ACCELEROMETER SOLUTIONS

Why SDI

For over 40 years, Silicon Designs has been a trusted leader in high-precision accelerometers, delivering accurate and reliable measurement solutions for industries that demand performance without compromise.

Advanced Precision and Reliability in Accelerometer Technology

Silicon Designs’ accelerometers stand apart with their ability to measure both DC (static) and low-frequency vibrations while delivering low-noise performance across extreme conditions. Unlike typical piezoelectric accelerometers, our MEMS DC accelerometers offer no lower frequency limit, enabling measurement across a full range of conditions with absolute stability. This makes them ideal for aerospace, defense, industrial, and structural health monitoring applications. Our accelerometers operate with consistency in high-impact environments, fluctuating temperatures, and under the strain of rigorous industrial use. Since 1983, Silicon Designs has been pioneering MEMS accelerometer technology. Our in-house development ensures high-quality manufacturing, fast lead times, and solutions tailored to your exact specifications.
