The moment of inertia calibration system is developed by Changcheng Institute of Metrology and Measurement (CIMM). Rotation table - torsional spring system is used to generate angular vibration, and laser vibrometer is used to measure rotational angle and the vibration period. The object to be measured is mounted on the top of the rotation table. The air-bearing system is elaborately manufactured which reduce the friction of the angular movement and increase measurement accuracy. Heterodyne laser interferometer collaborates with column diffraction grating is used in the measurement of angular movement. Experiment shows the method of measuring oscillating angle and period introduced in this paper is stable and the time resolution is high. When the air damping effect can’t be neglected in moment of inertia measurement, the periodic waveform area ratio method is introduced to calculate damping ratio and obtain the moment of inertia.
