LABA7 has introduced an **Electromagnetic Damper Test System (EMA)** designed for development and validation of next-generation suspension systems. Instead of conventional hydraulic actuation, EMA uses **linear motors**, eliminating hydraulic oil compressibility and reducing mechanical friction, enabling highly precise and repeatable damper testing. 

The system supports **semi-active and Continuous Damping Control (CDC) dampers**, including real-time electronic-valve actuation and ECU input simulation. New **torque-based testing** enables measurement of friction, seal drag and constant-force behaviour, while the system can reproduce complex waveforms and import vehicle telemetry for track-specific testing. 

EMA provides up to **7 m/s velocity, 40 kN peak force, 250 mm stroke and 20 kHz synchronized sampling**, with **50-nanometre position resolution**. Its supercapacitor-based power system enables high-power testing with relatively low grid requirements, making the system suitable for suspension R&D laboratories, motorsport and potentially trackside applications. 

The system is therefore positioned as a development platform for **advanced passive, semi-active and active suspension technologies**, providing high-speed testing and detailed measurement beyond conventional damper dynamometers.
