When you are dealing with rotors exposed to high centrifugal forces during operation, you have to be sure that they will not burst. This is normally done by performing strength tests at a speed above oeprating speed, or burst tests, or by recording Woehler curves. These tests are performed on a spin-test rig and will ensure the safety you need in the operation of your rotors.

Services offered by Schenck include spin-testing of your test specimens within the framework of product development or as part of quality control. Our spin testing rig will be at your disposal to perform jobs for which you do not have the right equipment. It is ideally suited to research and development, and to small pilot batches or spot checks within the framework of quality assurance.
