5VS - 5hp - NASCAR / Road Racing / IRL / CART / Industry 

  Our most popular model, the 5VS, is a fully computer controlled, variable motor speed model. It is capable of testing at four specific English or Metric stroke settings, up to 2 inches (50mm). The SHOCK™ Test Control and Damper Analysis software enables you to perform static and dynamic gas tests, temperature or time based warming of a damper, as well as stop the 5VS at bottom dead center of the damper stroke. A standard 5VS has force capacity up to +/- 2,500 lbs. and damper velocities up to +/- 39 inches per second with a 2 inch stroke.

Typical Motorsports Application:

The 5VS is the system of choice for many of the NASCAR Nextel Cup, Busch, Craftsman Truck, SCCA Trans-Am, World Sports Car, European Touring Car, and other closed-wheel racing teams. Completely portable, the 5VS is well suited for ease of use at races or test sessions where modifying and testing dampers quickly is extremely important.
