High Frequency Spindle Run-Off

What do President Lincoln and a spindle have in common?

In this video, we are showing the impressive balancing act of a penny during a spindle run-off. The coin, featuring President Lincoln, sits atop a high-frequency spindle turning at 30,000 rpm and doesn’t budge.

Our instruments prove the spindle is fully powered and actually running at that rate. To show there aren’t any camera tricks, Lloyd, our technician and videographer, picks up the penny to prove it’s not glued.

We hope you enjoyed this fun way we can show our dedication to our work!
