MSP test machines are based on this wealth of experience. They are conceived to analyse and assess accurately and reliably the material properties and characteristic parameters of single-tube and twin-tube shock absorbers, driver's cab dampers, seat and steering dampers and metallic impact absorbers.
For dynamic tests of shock absorbers, WPM Leipzig offers shock absorber testing rigs with servo-hydraulic or electromechanical drive. The measurement data is recorded and evaluated by displace-ment, force and velocity. By means of an operating panel at the machine frame, the cross head and the position of the piston stroke are adjusted manually.

Instron's MSP test system is the ideal tool for reliable, fast and realistic tuning of vehicle chassis designs and development of shock absorber systems
Shock absorbers and dampers testing solutions
SA 150 is a vertical – horizontal testing machine for shock absorbers or dampers. Both testing position are available in order to test the shock absorber in real position (on railway coach the shock absorbers are mainly mounted horizontally). Dynamic force: 30 kN, Stroke: 250 mm, Max speed: 1.5 m/s (other speed available on request if needed).
The main objectives behind the design of shock absorber are: To determine dynamic characteristics like displacement, vibration etc. of automotive shock absorber system, to test and indicate the condition of shock absorber in automotive vehicle, to calculate accuracy of shock absorber. 1. TERMINOLOGY AND DIMENSIONS 1. Time Period:
So this paper encompasses the design and development of shock absorber test rig in which the above mentioned conditions are simulated and performance is evaluated. KEYWORDS: Suspension System, Shock Absorber, Damping, Stiffness and Dynamic Characteristics
Dynamic impact test on railway shock absorbers - LF Technologies
The horizontal impact drop tester (dynamic shock test bench) allows to produce linear shocks with adjustable energy, speed and mass. Its revolutionary heavy weights simulation system makes it possible to carry out impact tests corresponding to a collision with a mass of 40 to 200 000 kg at a speed adjustable from 0.5 to 9 m/s thanks to ...
• Two purpose built shock absorber test stands designed to support large vehicles, heavy trucks, off-road vehicles and military applications • Multiple high performance test rigs with speeds in excess of 5.0 m/s
The Shock absorber is a Suspension system which designed mechanically to control shock impulse and dissipate kinetic energy. It reduces the amplitude of disturbances leading to increase in comfort and improved ride quality. Shock absorber minimizes the effect of traveling on a …
Shock absorbers need to be regularly tested in order to ensure that the energy absorption properties are in-line with the specification. Such tests will be carried out in accordance to the manufacturers quality control procedures or railway regulations.
