Reciprocating Pin/Ball-on-Disc Friction and Wear Testing Machine
Reciprocating tribometer for analysing friction and wear properties of materials and coatings
Standards
- SH/T0716-2002 Test Method for Fretting Wear Resistance of Grease
- SH/T0721-2002 Test Method for Friction and Wear Properties of Grease (High-Frequency Reciprocating Linear Vibration Test Method)
Applications
Ideal for industries that demand precise material performance testing, such as petrochemicals, mechanical engineering, energy, aerospace, automotive manufacturing, and lubrication engineering. It is also widely used in universities and research institutes for advanced studies on material durability and surface interactions.
The reciprocating tribometer is a versatile testing system widely used to study the friction and wear properties of materials and surface coatings. With standard pin-on-disc friction pairs, it can also be configured for ball-on-disc tests, and offers additional options for reciprocating, rotational, and ring-on-block friction setups. This friction and wear testing equipment operates with mechanical reciprocation up to 30Hz, while higher frequencies are achieved through electromagnetic drive, offering flexibility for a wide range of testing conditions.
