SP-01-02XX Dual Station Shock Absorber Test System

The Dual Station Shock Absorber Test System is Industry’s first high productivity shock absorber / strut / front-fork test system specially designed for use on damper production lines. This system is used to ensure that assembled parts meet specified performance specifications. It is the result of over seven years of R&D with a focus on harmonizing production line test requirements for 2, 3 and 4-wheeler suspension components. Individual features of this system have been tested and proven over this period by all major shox producers across the country. Practically every shock absorber and strut produced in the country is tested on a BiSS Stroker before being packed for shipment. The Bi-00-303 incorporates several unique features:

Standard features:

• Asynchronous dual-station operation. Doubles productivity and provides ready cross reference on test results
• Compact single foot print packaging. Fully integrated system. Simply connect mains and compressed air to operate system. Easy relocation on shop floor
 Fully hard-piped hydraulics. No flexible hosing. Built in air-cooling
• No water connection required
• Proprietary low noise, servo-controlled pump for energy efficiency. Down to about 30% of most conventional pumps   
• All electricals and electronics housed in dust proof air-conditioned enclosure
 Tooling suitable for 2, 3 and 4-wheeler parts
• Configurations available from 8 to 25 kN dynamic rating and from 0.005 to 3.5 m/s velocity rating
• Contamination insensitive servo-hydraulics with readily available COTS spares



• System tooling retains all of the popular features that BiSS ShoxPro test systems
• Pneumatic tooling with full 3-degree rotational freedom at both ends for self-alignment
• Quick change jaw faces and spacers to switch between  parts
• Built-in hydraulic press-cum-hold down assembly to perform rod-assembly insertion as well as to test unsealed parts
• Low-force “bull-dog” top grip that will retain top end without damage while resisting applied tensile and compressive damping force
• Top and bottom end tooling to suit threaded and eye type mounts as well as custom bottom tooling to suit variety of struts and front forks
• Optional sensors to detect complete seal insertion and to detect unsealed parts
• Optional sensors to detect part presence and part removal to avoid duplicate test

 • Gas charge / seal friction measurement with loop tilt correction 
 • Tolerances in terms of tension/compression damping force, energy, lag
 • Adaptive control algorithm for guaranteed stroking accuracy
 • Auto calibration of stroke and load 
 • Auto taring of part weight at commencement of test 
 • Optional banding of passed parts into hard, medium and soft 
 • Automatic recording of test results into MS-XL spreadsheet for c.p.k. analysis, etc 
 • Optional automatic assembly defect detection (missing part, backlash, etc..)
