3-Axis Moment of Inertia Facilities

CIC’s Moment of Inertia Facilities provide measurement of:

3-Axis, Moment and Product of Inertias
Principal Inertias and their Direction Cosines
Total Mass, Centre of Gravity Location and Mass Distribution

This facility is aimed at the automotive, aerospace and other sectors where inertia properties have important effects on the dynamics of a vehicle, component or system. Typical applications include:

Road and Racing Vehicles, Engines, Gearboxes
Aircraft Components, Air-Dropped Supplies, UAVs
Helmets, NVG Systems
Sports Equipment

Mass range	From 1kg to 2,500kg
Dimension range	Nominally 6500 (L) x 2800 (W) x 2000 (H)mm max

Full confidentiality is assured in a secured test environment
