SHOCK DYNAMOMETER

LUD FEATURES

Shock dynos are essential tools for assessing the efficacy and resilience of shock absorbers and dampers. They replicate real-world scenarios, offering valuable insights into the performance of a vehicle’s suspension system across diverse conditions.

At STEP Lab, we have introduced the LUD Shock Dyno, the ultimate solution for damper and shock absorber testing. This shock dynamometer offers exceptional features and presents many advantages:

Variable stroke and speed testing (fully adjustable by software)
Max. Stroke: 500 mm
Peak force: 22 kN
Replication of road profiles
Effortless installation process
Intuitive and user-friendly interface
Low power consumption (100% electric)
Easy to transport

This shock dynamometer offers greater accuracy and functionality than basic crank and scotch-yoke dynamometers. Positioned in the market between our high-end models (HUD/XUD) and third-party entry-level options, the LUD provides a balanced solution with advanced features and improved performance.

EXPLORE LUD SHOCK DYNO’S REMARKABLE ABILITIES IN ACTION

LUD Shock Dyno is a machine designed to be the choice for those looking for a machine that allows them to increase their testing capabilities without excessive demands (and budget). The performance of our shock dynamometer are inferior to HUD and XUD models, but superior to Crankshaft and Scotch Yoke Dynos.

Discover all the features that set LUD shock dyno apart from the rest.

TWO FAMILIES OF ELECTRODYNAMIC SYSTEMS

The first family, denoted as the EA series, is designed for versatile applications.
The second family, UD series, is specifically engineered for scenarios demanding exceptional dynamics, achieved through the use of linear actuators, capable of reaching up to 100G.

Both of these product families are seamlessly controlled by the same controller and software packages, allowing for scalability based on the performance requirements.
