From test track to test bench

From potholes and cobblestones to steep inclines, slippery roads and extreme operating environments, commercial vehicles must perform reliably under conditions that vary dramatically around the world.

That reliability starts with rigorous testing – and precise measurement data.

The ASC 5525MF triaxial capacitive accelerometer helps engineers capture the real-world vibration and acceleration loads acting on vehicles and critical components. With measurement ranges from ±2 g to ±200 g, a wide frequency response and shock resistance of up to 6,000 g, this robust sensor is engineered for demanding test environments. Its stainless-steel IP67 housing provides additional protection against water, dust and dirt.

During test drives, the ASC 5525MF provides valuable data for subsequent operational load reproduction tests in the lab. Vehicle prototypes then often undergo hundreds of hours of accelerated testing on servo-hydraulic test rigs – helping engineers optimize vehicle dynamics, material strength, component design, damping measures and long-term durability.

Resulting from this intense process: commercial vehicles that perform reliably over the long term – wherever the road takes them.
