The latter may also be adopted to fretting wear tests. Finally, the test chamber enables testing of tribo-components under vacuum. This facility enables the investigation of materials and coatings with respect to friction and wear properties.
Environments vary from vacuum, non aggressive gases or to air with controlled humidity.
Reproducibility and Repeatability of test results proven by European Round Robin Test. The device is fully PC-controlled. To the control parameters, e.g. sliding distance, trip level, can be selected to end tests under specific conditions.
