Testing Principle
The Multi-Functional Tribology Tester applies controlled loads via precision loading mechanisms, bringing the friction pair into contact with the sample surface. By performing rotational, linear reciprocating, or rotational-reciprocating motion, the device simulates friction and wear behavior under various conditions. Sensors record friction force, torque, and displacement in real time, and environmental parameters such as temperature and humidity are integrated into the analysis to evaluate material tribological performance and wear patterns.
Operation Instructions
Mount your sample on the adjustable stage, ensuring the contact surface is flat.
Select the desired friction mode (rotational, linear reciprocating, or rotational-reciprocating) and set the normal force and friction pair type.
Configure test speed, frequency, and number of cycles, then start the device.
Monitor friction force and environmental parameters using the integrated sensors.
After the test, save data and evaluate friction and wear results using the analysis software.
Follow safety precautions, avoiding direct contact with moving parts and high-temperature areas.
Experimental Procedure
Sample Preparation: Clean, dry, and secure the sample to ensure a contaminant-free surface.
Equipment Setup: Select the friction pair, applied load, motion mode, and speed parameters.
Environmental Adjustment: Set temperature, humidity, or vacuum conditions as required.
Start Test: Run the device while friction pairs move and friction/wear data are recorded in real time.
End Test: Save all experimental data and analyze friction coefficient curves and wear depth to assess material performance.
Repeat experiments or adjust parameters for comparative testing if needed.
