Test Devices

A World of Knowledge

When the world’s most advanced manufacturers of rotating equipment need the world’s most accurate spin testing systems and services to evaluate the critical components they’re designing and fabricating, they turn to Test Devices, Inc.

Test Devices provides rotational testing services and equipment to an array of demanding markets with exacting applications and requirements.

For its many aerospace, aviation and power generation clients, Test Devices offers rotational testing services and equipment that more closely represent operational engine environments.  Any closer to the real thing and components would be tested in real engines – a scenario that is simply too risky and time-consuming for most OEMs to pursue at the component level.

Safer than actual jet engine or turbine testing, Test Devices saves its clients millions of dollars through test simulations that more accurately replicate the arduous operating environments of engines. Full engine testing costs millions; high quality, accurate simulations cost a fraction of that.

Test Devices also provides comprehensive spin testing services and testing equipment for energy storage, air handling, automotive, electronics, and medical devices.

Test Devices has developed the world’s most precise, accurate and efficient test solutions because the company employs very experienced and accomplished scientists and engineers. For almost 40 years Test Devices has developed and advanced the science of centrifugal, vibratory and thermal stress testing and measurement of rotational components – critical solutions engineers need to evaluate the integrity and validate the life of component parts.

Test Devices provides the comprehensive spin testing results and data that engineers and scientists need to refine their assumptions, improve their models and select the best materials; in short, to research and develop the safest, most reliable, best-performing products in the world.

Working with Test Devices Makes A World of Difference.
