Content

The Multi-Functional Friction and Wear Tester is a versatile instrument designed to evaluate the friction and wear performance of materials, surface coatings, and components. With support for a wide range of loads and rotational speeds, this tester can conduct both ball-on-disk and pin-on-disk tests. It complies with international testing standards such as GB, ISO, and ASTM.

This tester is computer-controlled for monitoring and automatically records essential parameters like friction coefficient, friction force, load, and torque, which are displayed in real-time in both data and graphical formats. An optional environmental control system allows for testing under adjustable temperature and atmosphere conditions.

Application

The Multi-Functional Friction and Wear Tester is ideal for a broad range of applications:

Material surface processing: Research and evaluation of surface treatments or coatings.

Material failure & reliability: Identifying wear and failure points for improved material design.

Quality control: Used in industrial product quality inspection and ensuring durability and performance.

Wide material compatibility: Suitable for testing materials, coatings, and component surfaces under various frictional conditions.

Standards

This instrument is compatible with multiple international testing standards:

GB Standards (China)

(1) GB/T 3960 — Plastic Sliding Friction and Wear Test Methods

(2) GB/T 12444 — Metal Wear Test Methods

(3) GB/T 30732 — Tribological Testing Methods

ISO Standards

Test Procedures

Prepare the Sample: Mount the sample according to the chosen friction mode (ball-on-disk, pin-on-disk, etc.).

Set Parameters: Configure test parameters such as load, speed, stroke, frequency, temperature, and lubrication condition.

Start the Test: Initiate the test and monitor real-time results on the display. The system will record friction forces, torque, and temperature throughout the test.

Post-Test Analysis: Once the test is complete, use the software's post-processing features to analyze the data, export it in multiple formats (e.g., txt, xlsx), and generate reports.

Maintenance Information

Cleaning: Regularly clean friction surfaces to prevent buildup of wear particles or contamination.

Calibration: Calibrate the load and displacement sensors periodically to maintain accurate measurements.

Lubrication: Ensure lubrication channels are clean and replenish lubricants as needed for oil-lubricated tests.

Software Updates: Keep the software and firmware up to date for optimal functionality and feature enhancements.

System Checks: Periodically check the temperature control system and verify the stability of components to ensure reliable performance.
