The CW-EMD High Speed Test Facility features state-of-the art equipment and computer hardware/software to perform a variety of product acceptance test including precision balancing, stiffness matching, seasoning, dynamic impedance testing and over speed testing of generator, turbine, compressor motor and pump rotor products.

• Customer product is processed in reinforced bunker that "floats" on compressed vibration isolation pads and is electrically isolated to perform micro-balance operations.
  
• Can micro-balance to a minimum of 3.5 gm-inches
  
• Low speed balancing of rigid products
  
• High Speed up to 9,600 rpm balancing of flexible products
  
• Stiffness matching of products and associated twice-per-rev data acquisition
  
• Seasoning (heating) of products at up to 150oC in modular seasoning enclosure containing accurate temperature ramping and control
  
• Overspeed runs for component and material proof testing
  
• Checking of operational bearing performance
