The concept of centrifugal force is applied in rotating devices such as centrifuges, centrifugal pumps, centrifugal governors, centrifugal clutches, etc., as well as in centrifugal railways ...

Continuous types can be further subdivided based on the biomechanics of the pump: centrifugal or axial. Some continuous VADs can create pulsatile waveforms by periodically changing the pump speed.
