Centrio
Rotating components are tested in spin test systems. These machines are used for the development, manufacture and quality assurance of e-mobility rotors, engines, turbines, turbo compressors, turbochargers, fans, couplings, and grinding wheels. The Centrio combines innovative ideas with our experience, offering lower noise emissions, low energy consumption, space-saving design and ergonomic operation.
Efficient solutions for spin testing
Main areas of application for Centrio The main areas of application include various fields of material and component testing. This includes material strengthening by acceleration of the test specimen up to yield point of the material in order to investigate behavior under high speeds. These tests ensure quality, while burst tests can determine the breaking strength of new materials and designs. Furthermore, LCF tests are used to analyze the material fatigue of the test specimen and determine its service life under changing loads. In addition, HCF tests are used on engine parts to test their behavior under real operating conditions and ensure the reliability of the components.
Powerful and space-saving The noise emissions of our spin test systems have been significantly reduced through the selection of noise-optimized components, insulation, and encapsulation. The CENTRIO achieves a sound pressure level of only 75 dB, therefore the CENTRIO100 can be operated without additional soundproofing measures. In addition, Schenck offers customized layout and foundation plans which take into account the customer’s processes and conditions at site.
Robust, vacuum-tight housing design The spin test system contains a vacuum-sealed chamber with integrated burst protection. It is designed to absorb the expected fragment energy of the rotor burst. The chamber lid is designed for very high internal pressures and equipped with an automatic locking device. It is therefore secured against axial fracture energy or dust explosions.

Schenck Centrio centrifugal test rigs are used to test rotating components in a centrifugal field. These are proven test rigs that are indispensable for the development, manufacture, and quality assurance of rotors in the field of green technology. The main areas of application are: material consolidation, strength testing, burst testing, LCF testing (long-term fatigue testing), and HCF testing.
The test rig contains a vacuum-tight container with integrated burst protection. This is dimensioned by Schenck to absorb the expected fragment energy when a rotor bursts.

CAST 2
For controlling and monitoring your measurement data for optimal processes and quality
Control and measurement data acquisition for centrifuge stands
CAST 2 is the central system on a spin test rig that collects and analyzes measurement data and monitors all parameters. It supports up to 64 analog and digital measurement channels, e.g., for speed, shaft vibration, vacuum, and temperature. In addition, CAST 2 enables fully automatic sequence control of spin tests and test cycles. Furthermore, it offers convenient visualization of all measured values in online and offline mode.
Precise rollover tests with CAST 2
CAST 2 enables fully automatic sequence control of spin tests and test cycles by transferring user specifications for speed, heating steps, and vacuum to the machine control system. The software can record and process a wide range of sensor values at a sampling rate of up to 10 Hz and display them in diagrams.
Intuitive display of measurement data
CAST 2 provides convenient visualization of all measured values from a test run in a variety of diagrams with manual or automatic scaling, both in online and offline mode.
