CENTRIFUGAL APPARATUS FOR TESTING SAMPLES Russian patent published in 2014 - IPC G01N3/08 

FIELD: physics, testing.

SUBSTANCE: invention relates to test engineering and robustness tests. The centrifugal apparatus for testing samples has a base, a platform mounted in said base, having a rotary drive, a shaft mounted on the platform perpendicular to its axis capable of rotating together with the platform, a mechanism for rotating the shaft around its axis and a chamber mounted at the end of the shaft. The chamber houses sample catchers, the pair of which is mounted coaxially with the shaft and one of which is mounted on the shaft, and the rest of the catchers, the number of which is equal to the number of load axes, are mounted in a plane perpendicular to the axis of the shaft. The apparatus has guides, the number of which is equal to the number of load axes. Each guide has loads, the number of which is equal to loading steps on the corresponding loading axis, and electromagnetic latching mechanisms for series connection of loads with each other and with the corresponding catchers.

EFFECT: conducting tests in new conditions with independent change of levels and modes of changing loads on different directions with a controlled number and mutual orientation of loading directions during tests.
