Centrifuge Testing

ATS performs centrifuge testing to ensure client products and components can stand up to the forces expected to act on them in service. Certain products must contend with an additional force beyond the stimuli commercial products are expected to withstand. Accelerating an object enough to achieve supersonic flight speeds applies massive forces to its components and materials — the resulting dynamic loads are unlike any experienced by consumer or commercial products outside of impact events. While relatively few components of the millions produced daily will need to withstand significant g-forces, those that do must perform to expectations for the safety of the people that use them and the success of their mission. To help manufacturers ensure the quality and safety of their products, ATS provides centrifuge testing to validate components’ reaction to high stresses from acceleration.
