The Friction and Wear Testing Machine is a precision instrument designed to measure the coefficient of friction, wear volume, and related mechanical properties of materials under controlled load and speed conditions. Driven by an AC servo motor with a gear-and-rack transmission system, the machine delivers stable and accurate motion control. The worktable supports both constant load and continuous loading modes, enabling reliable low-, medium-, and high-load testing to meet the analytical requirements of laboratory research and industrial development.
Materials science research: Evaluation of friction and wear behavior of metals, alloys, ceramics, polymers, and composite materials
Surface treatment and coating assessment: Wear resistance testing of surface treatments and coatings, including powder coatings, sprayed layers, and heat-treated surfaces
Mechanical component performance evaluation: Tribological analysis of gears, bearings, sliding pairs, and contact components
Industrial quality control: Routine friction and wear testing during production to ensure compliance with performance requirements
Academic and research laboratories: Fundamental tribology research and educational testing
Typical test samples include:
Metallic and alloy specimens
Ceramic and coated surfaces
