Spin Testing Services

In recent years, the demand for quality and safety has become even greater with the increasing speeds in rotating products. Therefore, spin tests to verify durability and burst spin speeds are required during the development or manufacturing phases.
Nagahama Seisakusho offers proposals of specifications and implementation on spin testing for customers’ newly developed products, as well as high-precision measurement of shapes. We can also design and manufacture attachments in addition to analyzing the product shape to achieve the target speed.
Furthermore, we can provide a consistent service from balancing to spin testing.
Optimal balancing, enabled only by a specialized manufacturer, thoroughly reduces initial unbalance and eliminates unknown factors through highly reliable spin tests.

We offer optimal balancing which enables thoroughly reduced initial unbalance and elimination of unknown factors through highly reliable spin tests.
