The XR series instruments are designed to measure
Moment Of Inertia (MOI) over a wide range of test part weight.
Three standard models are available for test parts
with MOI's as small as 0.002 lb-in2 up to parts weighing 250 lbs. with accuracy
of 0.25%. In addition to its use as a design tool, this instrument is fast enough for use
in line for production quality analysis.
Most rotating machinery and all space vehicles
require the calculation of Moment of Inertia of components and complete assemblies.
While these calculations have become faster and more accurate through the use of
computers, the exact value and extent of manufacturing variations cannot be known
without making measurements.
Space Electronics XR Series instruments measure the
MOI of any object regardless of its size or shape in a fraction of the time required for
the MOI calculation and permit rapid accumulation of data for variation analysis.
