Variable Normal Load Friction and Wear Measurement System

Description

For a single measurement of a test paper strip in this instrument, it is possible to create a 3-dimensional wear condition graph that shows the relationships between the number of wear movements, vertical loading, and friction/wear volumes.

Concurrently, it can also determine the critical loading response to wear transitions. Not only will it be unnecessary to have multiple test pieces, but the testing time will also be greatly shortened and the requirement for troublesome data analysis can be eliminated, thus allowing excellent data to be obtained.

In addition to the friction measurement using the loading converter, the measuring element will have the friction amount, wear impression, and scratching depth measured by the displacement meter. With the collection of this real-time data, it will be possible to analyze the object from many points of view.

Furthermore, by using the instrument together with the optional TriboCCD System, even more advanced testing such as behavioral analysis of wear powder and lubricant travel conditions can be conducted.

The loading method uses the traditional Tribogear balance arm mechanism to maintain high reliability and unsurpassed precision. Switching between fixed loading and continuous loading testing modes can be easily carried out by using the integrated touch panel.

For loading, the previous mechanism that required weights to be manually placed has evolved into an automatic system based on numerical input.Furthermore, a rich variety of functions have been added, including a movable table with standard Y-direction stage and angle adjusting functions.
