The centrifugal acceleration test facility is used to verify the endurance and performance of a test item under a static acceleration environment. It simulates acceleration environments such as those experienced by a spacecraft during launch or airborne equipment during flight, and occasionally performs overload tolerance tests on sample-return capsules to simulate atmospheric re-entry.
Acceleration up to 55.7G can be generated by the rotary motion of the arm-like structure. A high-speed data logger is mounted on the measurement rack at the rotation center of the arm to send acquired measurement data, such as acceleration, strain, voltage, temperature, and video signals, to a measurement system via a wireless LAN to be monitored and recorded there.
This facility is capable of continuous operation and safe automatic shutrdown in the event of an earthquake.
