A fully automated Pin-on-Disk Tribometer and Wear Profilometer for measuring friction and wear properties of materials. Measures coefficient of friction and wear rates/profiles of coatings with or without lubrication. Rotating as well as linear reciprocating movement. Integrated stylus profilometer. High resolution frictionless force sensor design. Fully automated Windows compatible software for friction and wear measurement. 

Capabilities

• Real time display of friction coefficient
• Automated control of rotational speed, frequency, number of laps, threshold coefficient of friction, time, etc
• Wide ranging applications: semi-conductors, decorative and wear resistant coatings, data storage devices, lenses, cutting tools, paints, brake pads, windows, tablets, etc.

Facilities

• Model: CSM Instruments, Switzerland
• Appropriate Weights for Load (ranging from 1 to 10 N)
• Computer controlled with Latest PC and necessary hardware
• Fully automated PC control, Automatic calculation of coefficient of friction, standard deviation, wear rate calculation of sample and partner, measures Hertzian stress, etc
• Automatic report generation
