Tribometer
The Microphotonics MT/60/NI pin-on-disk tribometer is used for characterization of friction and wear properties for a variety of materials.
Users can easily control test parameters such as: speed, frequency, and contact pressure.
Additionally, real-life conditions of a practical wear situation can be closely simulated by precise control of humidity and temperature.
The lubrication modules allows for wear tests in the presence of liquid lubricants.
