Small scale tribometers type pin-on-disk
Features:
- Measure friction and wear behavior of materials under sliding conditions.
- Operate with or without lubrication.
- Large range of geometries, normal loads and sliding velocities to be applied.
- Range of condition monitoring measurements, e.g. a high-speed camera, AE (acoustic emission), 3D accelerometry, strain gauges and infrared thermometry.
- Test temperature up to 700°C
Application:
- Detect wear mechanisms as e.g. matrix/fiber cracking and gives information about the current state of the composite material.
- determination and study of friction and wear behaviour of almost every solid state material combination or hard coating with varying time, contact pressure, velocity, temperature, humidity and lubricants.
Objective:
Allow a quick and cheap investigation of the coefficient of friction and the wear behaviour of different material combinations
