- Only one test set-up for the complete inertia tensor
- Excellent accuracy
- Ease of use
- Portable
The InTenso series of instruments are full mass properties measurement instruments. They measure the weight, center of gravity location in 3 axes and the full inertia tensor: moment of inertia in 3 axes and product of inertia in 3 planes. The advantage of this system resides in the simplicity of use: the payload is only mounted in one configuration and all the mass properties are measured in that orientation.
InTensino is thought for payloads between 7 and 400 kg. It was originally designed to measure the mass properties of engines.
Other sizes are in the works. Please, contact us with your specific payload requirements for a custom-size instrument.
Measurement
Just like Intenso, the Intensino is a non linear pendulum based on the same operation concept.
The most significant difference is that, due to its size and its design, Intensino is a portable system.
On request, SMARTMechanical is available to perform a complete measurement service at the customer’s premises.
