Burst test stand Centrio 20 – 270

fatigueautomaticengine

In spin test systems, rotating components are tested under centrifugal force. These are proven test stands, which are specially designed for the development and production, as well as the quality assurance of e-mobility rotors, jet engines, gas turbines, turbo-compressors, turbo-chargers, ventilators, commutators, automotive couplings, HSG grinding bodies. Main areas of application are: • Material strengthening by acceleration of the test specimen up to yield point of the material, • Strength test with over speed as part of quality assurance, • Burst tests of test specimen as part of new and further rotor developments, • LCF tests (creep test) for the investigation of material fatigue, • HCF testing of engine parts under operating conditions. Mechanical Structure 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. Up to size Centrio 100, the machine is placed directly on shop floor. As of size Centrio 150, the chamber is partially embedded in the floor to improve rotor handling. 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 offers different types of sound insulations for the Centrio sizes. Thus, an optimized noise level is achieved for your test application and installation site. Energy Efficieny With extensive LCF tests, the energy consumption for acceleration and deceleration of the rotor is very high – especially when considering ventilation losses.
