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.

Ventuo Cor balancing solutions offer manual and fully automatic balancing systems for wheel manufacturing. Our balancing stations are an integral part of a wheel balancing machine and all known balancing weights can be processed in these stations. In manual balancing, the operator attaches the weights to the balancing planes supported by the wheel alignment function for ergonomic balancing in short cycle times. Fully automatic systems apply adhesive, or two-piece clamping weights, reliably in the corresponding balancing planes. When applying adhesive roller weights, these are cut to the exact length or weight by a cutting device and pressed onto the entire wheel surface by an application hand. The exact positioning of the balancing weights ensures low residual unbalance and smooth running of the complete wheel.
