LABA7’s new power supply system offers unmatched convenience, operating from standard outlets, making advanced testing accessible to all.
Motorsport teams, workshops, and testing facilities can now expand their suspension testing potential. LABA7’s electromagnetic Damper Test System EMA lineup ships with a one-of-a-kind power supply unit — the first and, to date, only such solution on the market.
Traditionally, electromagnetic test systems demanded high-voltage, high-amperage input — 64–100 A connections and specialized infrastructure. LABA7’s smart power supply changes that: the standard configuration runs on a common 3-phase 380/400 VAC connection at just 16 A, and every model can be optimized to run from a standard 1-phase 220/240 VAC socket on request. Even 110/120 VAC configurations are available for North American workshops.
Andrius Liškus, CEO of LABA7, emphasizes the impact: “The smart power supply unit is a game-changer. Now even smaller workshops or teams can acquire and use the electromagnetic damper test system without additional investment into power infrastructure.”
This is made possible by supercapacitor packs that store energy and deliver high-voltage power to the actuators without relying on heavy grid input. The stored reserve also allows a running test to continue and complete even during a power shortage. LABA7 backs the technology with a 5-year warranty on the power supply unit — applying to all EMA systems manufactured, past and future. “No longer bound by complex power requirements, our customers can seamlessly integrate the EMA into their operations — even trackside,” remarks Liškus.
The lineup spans four power levels — 30, 60, 90, and 120 kW — with peak force from 10 kN (2,248 lbf) to 40 kN (8,992 lbf), covering everything from motorcycle and MTB dampers to the biggest automotive shock absorbers.
Electromagnetic damper test systems are renowned for power, precision, and versatility. The EMA replicates virtually any real-life condition: sine, triangle, square, pulse, pink noise, sweep, chirp — and direct track data import, letting engineers upload data from any course and test how a specific damper will perform on it.
The specifications are equally impressive: 50-nanometer position resolution, a 20-bit load cell sampled at 20 kHz with zero phase shift, velocity from 0.1 mm/s up to 7 m/s, acceleration up to 100 G, and test frequencies up to 150 Hz. Despite that output, the system runs at 55–60 dB — quiet enough for EV component testing environments.
