Schenck’s Post

You might be wondering 🤔 why the Schenck Consulting team plays with Playmobil?        Today, our expert Steven Böhling will show you how our Spin Testing System works - and therefore he is using a Playmobil toy.     As you can see with the toy carousel, the people are pushed outwards by centrifugal force. Every rotating part in a mechanical system shows the same reaction. The higher the speed, the more the material of the rotor expands, and its diameter increases. We call this phenomenon dynamic expansion. With our patented spin testing system, we are able to measure the expansion at any angular position of the rotor with an accuracy in the single-digit micrometer range up to the rated speed and even beyond.     But why is it important for you to know the expansion of your rotor?    In addition to ever faster speeds, the aim is to keep the gap between the rotor and its housing as small as possible. The danger here is that if the rotor touches the housing due to the expansion, this can lead to complete destruction. Take a minute and let Steven explain to you how our spin test system can detect dynamic expansions even before it comes to destruction on your rotor.        #Schenck #balancing #SpinTestingMinute #Masterclass #SpinTesting #Innovation
