Next-Generation EMA Damper Performance Test Systems
MTS Systems Corporation

MTS EMA (Electro-Magnetic Actuation) Systems are renowned for their high-fidelity damper performance testing. Featuring highly responsive linear electric actuators, they deliver the superior capabilities and data accuracy that damper manufacturers and vehicle OEMs demand. Newly re-engineered EMA Gen 2 systems build on this proven performance with an array of customer-driven mechanical and software innovations, improving test integrity, expanding system utility, and increasing operational efficiency and safety.

Available in 9, 18 and 27 kilonewton models, new EMA frames feature a more robust, higher quality, and easier-to-maintain design. A redesigned actuator bearing provides more consistent performance over a longer life, and larger end stop bumpers absorb greater impact forces, preventing actuator damage.

Versatile FlexTest® controllers are now standard on EMA Gen 2 systems, expanding testing capabilities and harmonizing lab training and maintenance. Also standard, full-featured MTS Damper software provides the flexibility to pursue a broader spectrum of damper performance testing.

EtherCAT communications and a compact, front-access drive cabinet with a broader voltage range streamline installation and setup and minimize footprint, making new EMA systems ideal for both lab and trailer deployment.
