The Pratt and Whitney Labmaster Universal has helped Harmonic Drive achieve the high precision they need in their Metrology Lab. Most calibrations are now performed in house, which saves about $24,000 per year.
This friction and wear research lab uses a Pratt & Whitney Labmaster to measure several critical precision bearings from 12 mm bore, 2000 rpm bearings used in the water recycling system of the International Space Station to 90 mm bore, 30,000 rpm turbopump bearings used on the Space Shuttle’s rocket engines.
The Pratt and Whitney Labmaster Universal has dramatically increased the speed of Delta’s Calibration Laboratory. Now the laboratory calibrates more than 500 ring and plug gages, thread gages, pin sets, and gage block sets each year.
The lead tribology Metrologist of one NASA laboratory stated “The radial internal clearance and axial internal clearance kits for the Labmaster Universal will help further establish us as a very capable bearing research lab”.
