Wear Testing Unit

Tribometer

·         Specifications:

• Tribometer (MFT- 5000 make RTEC instruments)

• Maximum load = 5000N

• Reciprocating wear method is used.

• This equipment also has a profilometer attachment, which has an objective lens of 10x magnification, which can give a 3D image of the wear scar and the wear volume loss too.

·         Utility:

• The purpose of a tribometer is to provide simulation of friction and wear under controlled conditions.

• Friction and wear are very sensitive to factors such as variations in temperature, load or humidity.

• It is essential to provide an apparatus where all these factors can carefully be controlled and monitored.

·         Applications:

• To measure friction coefficient across lubricant, grease, bio, automobile, Semi-conductor, aerospace, materials, ceramics, Space industries, and more.

• To get correct friction force, it is important to conduct experiments in conditions close to the real applications.

• Flat samples should be ensured for better results.
