Description:

The Ideal Aerosmith Model 1068-1 Centrifuge System covers a broad spectrum of G-ranges, payload capacities and accuracies in order to meet a wide variety of centrifugal testing requirements. Our systems are designed for applying a centrifugal force (G's) to a UUT (Unit Under Test).

The Ideal Aerosmith Centrifuge Systems are generally used for testing the performance or failure level of an inertial sensor, such as an accelerometer, at various G levels. Applications include the military, aerospace, automotive and geo-technical industries.
