a. Balancing machines having all of the following characteristics:
1. Not capable of balancing rotors/assemblies having a mass greater than 3 kg;
2. Capable of balancing rotors/assemblies at speeds greater than 12,500 rpm;
3. Capable of correcting unbalance in two planes or more; and
4. Capable of balancing to a residual specific unbalance of 0.2 g mm per kg of rotor mass;
b. Indicator heads (sometimes known as balancing instrumentation) designed or modified for use with machines specified in 9.B.2.a.;
c. Motion simulators/rate tables (equipment capable of simulating motion) having all of the following characteristics:
1. Two or more axes;
2. Designed or modified to incorporate sliprings or integrated non-contact devices capable of transferring electrical power, signal information, or both; and
3. Having any of the following characteristics:
a. For any single axis having all of the following:
1. Capable of rates of 400 degrees/s or more, or 30 degrees/s or less; and
2. A rate resolution equal to or less than 6 degrees/s and an accuracy equal to or less than 0.6 degrees/s;
b. Having a worst-case rate stability equal to or better (less) than plus or minus 0.05% averaged over 10 degrees or more; or
c. A positioning "accuracy" equal to or less (better) than 5 arc second;
d. Positioning tables (equipment capable of precise rotary positioning in any axes) having all of the following characteristics:
1. Two or more axes; and
2. A positioning "accuracy" equal to or less (better) than 5 arc second;
e. Centrifuges capable of imparting accelerations greater than 100 g and designed or modified to incorporate sliprings or integrated non-contact devices capable of transferring electrical power, signal information, or both.
Notes:
1. The only balancing machines, indicator heads, motion simulators, rate tables, positioning tables and centrifuges specified in Item 9 are those specified in 9.B.2.
2. 9.B.2.a. does not control balancing machines designed or modified for dental or other medical equipment.
3. 9.B.2.c. and 9.B.2.d. do not control rotary tables designed or modified for machine tools or for medical equipment.
4. Rate tables not controlled by 9.B.2.c. and providing the characteristics of a positioning table are to be evaluated according to 9.B.2.d.
5. Equipment that has the characteristics specified in 9.B.2.d. which also meets the characteristics of 9.B.2.c. will be treated as equipment specified in 9.B.2.c.
6. Item 9.B.2.c. applies whether or not sliprings or integrated non-contact devices are fitted at the time of export.
7. Item 9.B.2.e. applies whether or not sliprings or integrated non-contact devices are fitted at the time of export.
