About Us
For over 30 years, Test Devices, Inc. has been the premiere source for centrifugal stress measurement systems and services. In addition to leading the field in building spin test systems, Test Devices provides advanced technology spin testing services to customers in a wide variety of industries. We are privileged to work with developers and producers of high-speed components of jet engines, medical centrifuges, machine tools, industrial compressors, and high-speed electric motors, among others.
At Test Devices, we focus on a careful understanding of the needs of our customers. We often participate in developing test plans to achieve the maximum benefit from a project. Combining deep experience with continuous improvement and innovation in the development of our test equipment, Test Devices Inc. offers high value in centrifugal stress evaluation testing.
With extensive experience in operating spin test systems, we have had the opportunity to gain a unique understanding of the needs of our spin-test customers. Because we operate spin test systems daily, we are uniquely positioned to understand the needs of the people who use the equipment. Both the machines we sell and the machines we operate here include the most advanced safety, control, and measurement systems available.

Test Devices announces that it has increased the size of its largest spin test machine, which is now capable of testing a component up to 54 inches in diameter. This additional space will be used to not only perform simple over speed and burst tests of larger diameter rotors, but also to include instrumentation and hardware for more complex tests such as high cycle fatigue and radial growth at speed.
