707 668-5244 | The Shockwave Linear Shock Absorber Dynamometer is a product of Performance Data Systems LLC. The Shockwave Linear Dyno is a "state of the art" precision machine capable of reproducing the movement of any other production damper dyno. From a low-end Scotch-Yoke type crank dyno, to a high end hydraulic dynamometer and everything in between, the Shockwave Linear Dynamometer from Performance Data Systems LLC can reproduce virtually any wave form. A Shock Absorber mounted on the The Shockwave Linear Dynamometer can be moved to simulate action on a particular race track as if the shocks were on a real car. To do this the vehicle must be connected to data acquisition and the movement of the shock must be recorded over the track to be simulated. The data is then brought back and 'played' on the dyno, simulating the real-world conditions right on the Shockwave Linear Dynamometer in your own shop.
