Technical manual description, operation, and maintenance procedures for Spinner and High Onset Facilities

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:6051521
The spinner and High Onset Facilities are a component test system that uses three high-speed centrifuges that are operated and controlled from a single console. The facility is used to test inertial devices and to perform functional testing of other components that will be subjected to high spin rates in actual use. Components can be tested under test plans that require a very fast spin-rate rise time to maximum revolutions per second for high g-loading. Physical and functional description of the equipment are given. Procedures for performing test operations with each of the centrifuges and for performing system tests and input instrument calibration are described. A parts list and a series of drawings and schematics are given which are required for the trouble shooting and maintenance of the facilities. (LEW)
