LABA7 MICRO Shock Dyno Makes Its PRI Debut at Booth 3408

LABA7 brings the MICRO Shock Dyno to PRI 2026, at booth #3408. The machine occupies just 0.14 m2 and lets teams test dampers at the track. It runs from a standard single-phase socket and holds velocity as low as 1 mm/s throughout the cycle. The PRI Show runs Dec. 10-12 at the Indiana Convention Center in Indianapolis, Ind.

"Until now, a shock dyno meant a room. If teams could not bring one to the track, setups were tuned by feel and generally went out untested. That means a loss for the team as they spent a whole session learning what a dyno could answer in minutes," said Andrius Liškus, CEO of LABA7. "To solve this, we made a dyno with a uniquely small footprint that travels with the team and is very affordable."

Closed-loop servo control

MICRO holds a set velocity at every crank position, from 1 mm/s to 1000 mm/s. A closed-loop servo motor with an absolute multiturn encoder makes that possible. LABA7 developed a special controller that tracks crank position through the full cycle and corrects the velocity as the load changes.

The ability to maintain constant low speed is crucial for seal drag and friction tests. Their effects are hard to distinguish when velocity drifts, a phenomenon that occurs as damper forces rise.

Small machine, lab-grade tests

A smaller machine does not mean it has lesser testing capacity. MICRO carries the same 10 kN load cell as Featherlight and Light Shock Dynos from the LABA7 range.

It also uses the same contactless temperature sensor, reading from -40 °C to +150 °C, and the same connectivity options. MICRO Shock Dyno connects to Shock Dyno Software v2 via WiFi, USB, and Ethernet connections.

Unlike bigger shock testing machines, MICRO is shipped with two self-preload clevis adapters. Other LABA7 adapters for automotive, motorcycle, and MTB dampers can be fitted and are sold separately.

Built to travel

MICRO stands 1338 mm tall on a 363 x 395 mm footprint. The masts detach for transport, which brings the height down to 626 mm. Operating weight is 65 kg.

The machine runs on single-phase 230V, 50Hz or 110V, 60Hz and can be powered from a socket in a racing van or from a generator.

What fits

MICRO takes dampers up to 700 mm of free mounting length, with 205 mm between the masts. Customers should check damper dimensions against those figures before ordering.

The price

"A lot of qualities that make MICRO great for trackside testing are suitable for workshops as well. Plenty of tuners wanted a dyno and did not have the floor space or the budget. A tabletop machine at this price changes that conversation," Liškus adds.

MICRO is available to order at $6,000 EUR excl. VAT, approximately $6,970 USD.
