The control of friction and wear in moving machine parts is a critical issue facing all manufacturers. It can be crucial to have quantitative data obtained at varying humidity and temperature and in the presence of lubricants. CSM Instruments Tribome
Nano Tribometer In Nanotribometry, a flat, a pin or a sphere is loaded onto the test sample with a precisely known force.The friction coefficient is determined during the test by measuring the deflection force on the arm. Wear coefficients for the
The High Vacuum Tribometer has been designed to provide controlled vacuum conditions (down to 10e -7 mbar) or gaseous environments. The highly efficient vacuum control system allows the user to reach the desired atmospheric condition very fast but in
The analysis of friction and wear properties of materials at elevated temperatures has become increasingly important, especially for the development and quality control of combustion engine and power plant constituent parts. To meet the resulting nee
