Technical features   

• Two friction sensors minimize the effect of the thermal drift error on the friction measurement in a range from room temperature to 1000 °C.   * Surrounding heating elements combined with water cooling provide precise and homogeneous sample temperature control up to 1000 °C.   * Carefully designed sample- and ball holder for easy setup of tribology testing at extremely high temperatures   * Independent application of normal load and friction force measurement to avoid crosstalk between different force signals   * Single-direction rotating or angular reciprocating movement modes   * Continuous wear depth measurement   * Three testing parameters: standard, incremental, and user-defined mode   * “Modelization” software for simulating Hertzian elastic contact stress and strain distribution   * User-defined friction threshold auto-protection   * Fully conforms to ASTM G99, ASTM G133, and DIN 50324 standards   

  Additional capabilities:   * Testing under primary or high-vacuum conditions   * In-situ observation of wear under vacuum conditions   * Testing under inert gas atmosphere   * Tribology testing in liquids   

  Typical applications   * Cutting tools   * Automobile brake pad materials
