Friction Tester
The Friction
Tester is used to test the frictional characteristics of materials in dry or
lubricated reciprocating motion contact. A wide variety of materials
including fluid lubricants, greases, cutting fluids, metals, composites,
ceramics, polymers, and coatings can be tested. The test is performed by
loading the test specimen against a ball, pin, or cylinder undergoing
reciprocating linear motion. The frictional force developed at the contact
interface is measured by a force transducer. The output signal can be
captured by a storage oscilloscope or TriboDATA, Koehler's Data Acquisition
Software, for evaluation. The reciprocating motion of the ball results in a
unique velocity profile which allows for monitoring of static and dynamic
friction force over a wide range of linear sliding speeds. The test load,
stroke, frequency, and temperature can be adjusted to simulate different
testing conditions. Wear testing may also be performed on the test specimen
by evaluating the resulting wear scar with a profilometer.
