Stick Slip Test Stand for Material Combinations(G-SSP)

The Stick-Slip Tribological Test Stand is a laboratory testing system used to evaluate friction-induced stick-slip behavior and squeak noise risk between material pairs under controlled load and motion conditions.

You can use this equipment to measure static friction force, dynamic friction force, coefficient of friction, maximum friction acceleration, and vibration frequency, providing quantitative data for tribological and NVH evaluation.

Application

You can use this test stand to predict friction noise and stick-slip behavior of automotive interior and exterior materials during real use conditions.

It is suitable for the following products and components:

(1) Automotive seat components, instrument panels, door trims, carpets, and interior trim parts

(2) Plastic–plastic, plastic–metal, metal–metal, and composite material friction pairs

(3) Brake pedals, handbrake handles, gear selectors, and tactile control components

(4) Materials with surface treatments, coatings, or layered structures

(5) Material compatibility evaluation to prevent squeak and rattle issues

(6) Tribological performance comparison during material selection and design validation
