eMpulse Test Systems, a provider of servoelectric test equipment, has supplied a load frame to JRi Shocks for use in its damper development and evaluation programmes. The system is now operational at JRi’s facility in North Carolina, USA, and will also support customer visits, demonstrations, and product showcases of its shock absorber systems for racing, off-road, and performance applications.
The load frame features servoelectric actuation technology designed for precise force and displacement control, low noise, and high repeatability. These factors are useful for damper performance validation, durability assessments, and component characterisation.
“Having a modern load frame in-house allows us to validate damper behaviour under controlled conditions and showcase that performance directly to our customers,” said Jeff Ryan, president of JRi Shocks.
“It gives us another tool to demonstrate the engineering behind our products and support data-driven development. The eMpulse machine brings the most advanced damper testing technology that I’ve witnessed in my 48 years solely working in this industry.”
