ServoSled™ 1000


ServoSled™ 1000

Cost-Effective solution for component-level testing

The ServoSled 1000 performs seat, child seat, seatbelt, and battery regulatory pulses as well as more complex frontal vehicle pulses. Built on the proven ServoSled technologies being used in more than 50 safety labs worldwide, the ServoSled 1000 can provide reliable, repeatable compliance test performance.

ServoSled 1000 provides the reliable, repeatable component-level compliance test performance of the industry-leading ServoSled system at a fraction of the cost, complexity, and lead/installation time.


Primary Features 
  • System length is configurable to meet specific post test braking requirements or adapt to short work spaces
  • Adaptive, closed-loop, post testing braking
  • User-friendly control system
  • ServoBrake layout and actuator layout minimize sled weight and maximize payload
  • Simple reaction block design

Fast installation with minimal civil work – with simple concrete modifications, ServoSled 1000 can be installed within existing buildings, speeding construction and reducing cost


Lower operating costs, more complex pulses than a decelerator – uses no wires, reducing the cost per test, and can perform much more complex pulses than a decelerator to meet a wide variety of testing


Performs all standard component tests and complex vehicle pulses – performs all the regulatory pulses plus vehicle pulses with high frequency, closed-loop pulse controls to further validate seat and restraint systems


First shot accuracy

ServoSled 1000 can achieve most regulatory pulses within corridors without tuning. The Seattle Safety proprietary control system, already at use in over 50 leading safety labs, is optimized for first shot performance.

More complex pulses, better repeatability than a decelerator

Unlike a decelerator,ServoSled 1000 delivers repeatable setup with standstill test initiation—preventing dummy movement prior to the test pulse. The ability to perform much more complex pulses allows ServoSled 1000 to meet a wide variety of testing needs well into the future.

The ServoSled 1000 performs consistent regulatory pulses (left graph) and also provides more complex pulses (right graph) for a much wider variety of testing needs.
