1068-1 Centrifuge System

Ideal Aerosmith - 1068-1 Centrifuge

The Ideal Aerosmith 1068-1 is designed to apply a large centrifugal force to a payload. While this can also be accomplished with a single axis motion simulation table system, a centrifuge is typically required for applications with larger payloads, and/or higher g requirements. The 1068-1 tests from 0 to 100 g’s at a 22-inch (559-mm) radius. Payload capacity is a 12-inch cube (305 mm) at 50 lbs (22.67 Kg) per end of arm.

Ideal Aerosmith centrifuge solutions are used in many industries, including aerospace, automotive, geotechnical, and the military. Often this is in the qualification testing of accelerometers, inertial packages, or safe-arming devices (fuzes).
