OVERVIEW

From calibrating accelerometers to studying the constraints of mechanical and electrical components under constant acceleration, Space Electronics offers both precision centrifuges with the best stability and lower cost alternatives.

For combined environmental testing we offer advanced centrifuges that feature vibration capabilities, temperature variations, and vacuum chambers.

Space Electronics distributes Actidyn centrifuges in North America. Actidyn is the world leader in centrifuges, manufacturing the widest range of centrifuges available today.

HIGHLIGHTED BENEFITS

Our centrifuges use a unique design that provides key advantages:

• AC Brushless Drive - We offer both direct drive centrifuges for precise control and belt drive for lower cost models. All models are based on the most advanced AC brushless drive technology. This provides maintenance free operation.

• Connection with payload - Electrical slip rings, optical fiber rotary joint and modems, and fluid rotary joints are available to connect stationary control hardware to the rotating test assembly.

• Safety - Our centrifuges incorporate a number of safety features, both at hardware and software level. The centrifuge enclosure is made of high strength steel and is outfitted with interlocks which inhibit operation of the system in the event an access door is left open.

• Controller - We only make digital control systems, using industrial grade programmable controllers or the Actidyn ND controller for best accuracy and real-time profile control. DC linear acceleration and sinusoidal g profiles are available.

• Remote Interfaces - Optional remote interfaces are available (Ethernet, IEEE 488, USB, RS232, RS422, Analog Input / Output).

ADDITIONAL EQUIPMENT

We also provide the following accessories for operation with our centrifuges:
   • Four Degree of Freedom Robot
   • Electrohydraulic shakers with one or two degrees of freedom
   • Electrodynamic shakers
   • Climatic chambers
   • Vacuum chambers

CUSTOM CENTRIFUGES

Centrifuges often need to be customized to specific applications. Do not hesitate to contact us with your specifications if our standard centrifuges do not meet your needs.
