Damper Characterization

What is Damper Characterization (testing)?

Damper characterization testing involves removing a damper from a vehicle and testing it on a dyno machine. The test is completed by extending/compressing the damper at various speeds and measuring the response.

Damper Characterzation at Morse Measurements?

Although K&C testing does not measure dampers, we can characterize the dampers by removing them from the vehicle for you and testing them with a local partner.

Morse Measurements provides this service along with data summary and analysis services. Peak velocity plots and constant velocity plots are provided, along with corresponding raw data. Here are some sample graphs:
