Accurately replicate a broad spectrum of damper and shock absorber noise and vibration phenomena, including elusive, structure-borne “chuckle” noises that can prove especially degrading to the ride comfort and quality of electric and autonomous vehicles. The innovative Model 853 Damper NVH System is purpose-engineered for conducting high-fidelity damper NVH measurements at up to 800 Hz – essential for meaningful chuckle analysis. The versatile Model 853 is also well-suited for elastomer testing applications.
Purpose-engineered to support meaningful investigation into high-frequency, structure-borne chuckle noise phenomena.
Delivers the ultra-pure, low-THD sinusoidal excitation needed for gaining high-fidelity NVH measurements at up to 800 Hz.
Blends high-bandwidth transducers, high-frequency elastomer test rig, and electrically actuated EMA damper test technology.
Well-suited for a broad spectrum of testing, ranging from damper and shock absorbers to elastomeric materials and components.
