GALILEO RESEARCH Fully Electromechanical Gyratory Compactor

The Galileo Research represents the pinnacle of gyratory compaction technology, engineered for advanced asphalt research and sophisticated mix design. Combining Electromechanical Servoactuation (EmS) with a high-rigidity frame, it offers unparalleled control over testing parameters, including real-time shear measurement and automated angle adjustment.

Key Performance Features

  • EmS Technology: Fully electromechanical operation eliminates the need for compressed air or hydraulic oil, ensuring a clean, quiet, and low-maintenance environment.
  • Closed-Loop Angle Control: Features real-time, automatic adjustment of the gyratory angle during compaction to compensate for frame compliance and ensure total accuracy.
  • Integrated Shear Measurement: Built-in sensors provide real-time direct shear and torque resistance data, essential for evaluating the workability and stability of advanced mixtures.
  • Zero-Angle Finishing: Automatically flattens the specimen at a 0° angle at the end of the test to ensure perfectly parallel faces for subsequent mechanical testing.
  • Smart Control & Software: Managed via a 7″ color touchscreen or dedicated PC software for complex data analysis, including automatic compaction energy calculations.

Technical Specifications

  • Standard Compliance: Exceeds requirements for AASHTO T312, ASTM D6925, and EN 12697-31.
  • Gyratory Angle: User-defined and motorized from 0° to 3° with a resolution of ±0.005°.
  • Consolidation Pressure: High-performance motor delivers up to 1000 kPa (for 150 mm dia. samples).
  • Rotation Speed: Adjustable from 5 to 60 rpm (standard) up to 120 rpm (on request).
  • Measurement Precision: * Height: Better than 0.1 mm resolution.
  • Load: Direct measurement via high-precision coaxial load cell.
  • Integrated Extruder: Includes a motorized electromechanical extruder and a motorized mold-lifting system for maximum productivity.
  • Safety & Connectivity: Transparent sliding door with safety interlock; LAN/Ethernet and USB ports for remote diagnostics and data export.
