Vacuum Friction and Wear Tester

Description

By incorporating the highly regarded Tribogear friction and wear testers in a vacuum chamber, it is now possible to carry out various kinds of friction and wear testing in a vacuum environment. This makes it possible to easily conduct formerly difficult (or impossible) product evaluations in a vacuum. This type of capability is widely advantageous to research and development applications for space manufacturing, new materials, and new technology.

Precise testing under “low” loading is possible because the loading method utilizes the highly reputed Heidon balance method. Options, such as high speed friction testing using a rotating table, are possible and support is also given for specifications that involve minute loading amounts.

Supports create vacuums up to 10 Pa using a Turbo Molecular Pump. Additionally, an an option, a high vacuum specification can be provided so that testing will be possible under various conditions to match the user needs. Please contact our company for more information.
