JRi Shocks Advances Testing
eMpulse Test Systems Supplies Load Frame to JRi Shocks for Advanced Damper Testing
Zeeland, Michigan — eMpulse Test Systems, a leading provider of high-performance servoelectric test solutions, has supplied a load frame to JRi Shocks for use in their damper development and evaluation programs. The system is now operational at JRi’s facility and will also support customer visits, demonstrations, and product showcases.
The load frame features servoelectric actuation technology designed for precise force and displacement control, low noise, and high repeatability — making it well suited for damper performance validation, durability assessments, and component characterization. By integrating the load frame into customer-facing demonstrations, JRi can offer a deeper look at how their products perform under controlled, real-world loading conditions.
“JRi is a respected name in high-performance suspension systems,” said Doug Boals, CTO, eMpulse Test Systems. “We’re proud to support their engineering and customer engagement efforts with a system that delivers precision, fidelity, and reliable data.”
Jeff Ryan, Vice President of Engineering at JRi Shocks, highlighted the value of the collaboration and the installation: “Having a modern load frame in-house allows us to validate damper behavior under controlled conditions and showcase that performance directly to our customers,” said Jeff Ryan, President of JRi Shocks. “It gives us another tool to demonstrate the engineering behind our products and support data-driven development. The eMpulse machine brings the most advanced damper testing technology that I’ve witnessed in my 48 years solely working in this industry.”
Located in Mooresville, North Carolina, JRi Shocks designs and manufactures advanced shock absorber systems for racing, off-road, and performance applications. The demo installation provides an opportunity for their customers to see damper testing firsthand and better understand product behavior before going to track or field testing.
The installation reflects eMpulse Test Systems’ ongoing commitment to supporting industry partners with clean, efficient, and high-accuracy test platforms. Leveraging servoelectric technology eliminates hydraulic fluids, reduces maintenance, and provides tighter control of load, displacement, and velocity profiles.
