High-Fidelity Motion and Force Control for Demanding Engineering Tests
Servoelectric actuators are used wherever force, displacement, speed, and motion fidelity need to be controlled accurately across repeated test cycles. They are especially useful in durability, NVH, structural, and subsystem validation programs where clean operation, precision, and lower maintenance are important.
This page covers SEA MAST, SEA Damper Test Systems, SEA Elastomer Test Systems, and actuator solutions for durability-oriented test bench automation.
Why Servoelectric
Core Benefits Across These Systems
Dynamic Response
High-bandwidth control supports demanding test profiles across multi-axis, damper, and elastomer applications.
Energy Savings
Reference materials describe up to 80% energy savings compared with comparable hydraulic systems in some applications.
Precise Control
Real-time force, velocity, and displacement feedback improve repeatability and help engineers compare setups with confidence.
Product 01
SEA MAST
According to eMpulse, SEA MAST systems are servoelectric multi-axis simulation tables built to replicate complex real-world motion, vibration, stress, and strain. The reference page describes 3 and 6 degree-of-freedom configurations with hexapod, orthogonal, and custom setups for different testing requirements.
These systems are intended for precise multi-axial control with high fidelity and lower maintenance than hydraulic alternatives. ATS can position SEA MAST for aerospace, automotive, civil engineering, materials, and subsystem simulation where synchronized multi-axis motion is required.
SEA MAST Highlights
What Makes It Useful
3-DOF and 6-DOF Options
Reference material highlights multi-axis motion control for realistic simulation of complex loading conditions.
Custom Configurations
Hexapod, orthogonal, and custom system layouts support different specimen shapes and test objectives.
Lower-Maintenance Motion
SEA technology is positioned as high-fidelity and energy-efficient compared with conventional hydraulic systems.

SEA Damper Test Systems
The eMpulse reference brochure describes SEA Damper Test Systems as clean, efficient, and dynamically responsive solutions for performance and durability testing of shock absorbers, dampers, struts, and similar automotive components. The brochure says these systems are designed to replace servo-hydraulic alternatives and exceed the performance of other electric options.
The brochure also identifies three standard models with peak dynamic force capacities of 10 kN, 21 kN, and 41 kN, and notes that the systems can sustain significantly higher continuous loads, making them a strong fit for extended duration durability testing.
Product 03
SEA Elastomer Test Systems
From the eMpulse elastomer testing reference, SEA Elastomer Test Systems are positioned for precise testing of elastomeric materials and components where force-displacement behavior, stiffness, durability, and cyclic response must be evaluated under controlled loading conditions.
Because the elastomer-testing page is framed around servoelectric control advantages, ATS can present this product as a high-accuracy, digitally controlled solution for rubber, mount, bushing, and material validation programs that need repeatable dynamic and static testing.
Load Frame Advantages
Capabilities Shared by Damper and Elastomer Systems
Force Range
The load frame references list modular force capacities extending from 13 kN to 108 kN depending on system configuration.
High-Frequency Capability
eMpulse highlights coherence up to 400 Hz for demanding high-dynamic test profiles.
High-Resolution Control
Reference material describes closed-loop digital control, integrated diagnostics, and nanometer-level displacement resolution.
Product 04
Actuators for Durability Testing
The ATESTEO actuator reference describes highly dynamic actuator systems designed for automated testing of manual transmissions, drivetrains, gearboxes, and powertrains on test benches. These actuators convert electric signals into motion and are tailored to the user’s requirements for test automation.
The page specifically highlights gear-shifting actuators such as the GSE 4.0 Highline and GSE 4.0 Function, plus LMC3-based clutch and throttle valve actuators. ATS can therefore position this category as actuator solutions for durability-style test bench automation, gear shifting, clutch activation, and powertrain component control under highly dynamic conditions.
ATESTEO Actuator Notes
Examples Mentioned on the Reference Page
GSE 4.0 Highline
High-frequency force, position, and speed control for realistic fully automatic shifting of vehicle transmissions.
GSE 4.0 Function
Flexible and economical shifting actuator with automatic learning process for transmission positions and interlocks.
KBE3 Clutch Actuator
Automates clutch processes at the test bench and can optionally measure clutch characteristic curves.
TPC Throttle Actuator
Controls accelerator actuation with high control speeds and durable industrial linear guides.
