KEY PRODUCT FEATURES

Easy, Intuitive Use

MTS damper testing software is designed for ease-of-use, featuring wizard-based guides for test creation and execution and Excel-based macros for easy analysis and reporting.

Accurate / Repeatable Results

MTS damper performance solutions employ high precision encoders (electric systems) or velocity preservation compensators (servohydraulic systems) to track command signals with very low distortion.

Innovative Technology

The EMA product line combines the latest linear electric actuator technology and high-performance FlexTest controls to deliver superior performance and highly precise results.

Versatile

The Model 320 product line can test all types of ground vehicles, including motorcycles, scooters and ATVs; passenger cars, light and heavy trucks; as well as train cars and off highway vehicles.
