Abstract

An exemplary device for testing a gas turbine engine component includes a shaft that is configured to be rotated. A first hub is selectively fixed to the shaft near a first end of the first hub with an opposite, second end spaced from the shaft. A second hub is selectively fixed to the shaft near a first end of the second hub with an opposite, second end spaced from the shaft. The second ends of the hubs each have a feature for supporting the component between the first and second hubs at a location spaced from the shaft for introducing a load on the component near the location.
