Highly advanced Tribometer offers precise and repeatable wear/friction Tribology testing. Designed to allow pin-on-disk(standard) and linear reciprocating (optional) testing on the same system. The highly advanced motor gives an unmatched range of rpm speeds and high position accuracy with a 20bit encoder. The motor can move in both directions opening the door to arc reciprocating testing. Equipped with a self tuning feature to keep system in check through time. System is delivered with speeds from 0.1 to 2000rpm (6000rpm optional). Comes standard with motorized radius control and capability to measure torque variation during testing. Friction force is measured directly with a stiff high resolution load cell.

Plexiglas enclosure with integrated valve allows for controlled environment testing such as inert gases or certain humidity levels. Three high temperature options are available: up to 1000ºC oven for the pin-on-disk, 300ºC heating plate for the linear and a 150ºC liquid heating module. For high temperature testing, the arm is equipped with a motorized lift that automatically removes weight from sample surface allowing the sample to continue rotating during cool down without further wearing the surface. An RVDT sensor can also be added to measure total wear of ball and sample while tracking wear rate through time.
