The Vacuum Tribometer is used to determine the sliding life of self-lubricant coatings as well as the friction and wear behaviour of solid-state materials or hard coatings with averaging time, contact pressure, velocity and temperature under vacuum conditions.
Anton Paar Tribometers have proven their reliability worldwide in over 1000 laboratories, for studying:
• High vacuum environment down to 10e -7 mbar
• New materials (ceramics, metals, polymers)
• Self-lubricating systems
• Quality assurance
Technical features:
• Precisely calibrated friction and wear measurements
• Stable contact point and no parasitic friction
• Variable sample sizes and shapes
• Automatic shut-off (max. track length / max. friction coefficient)
• Testing in liquids and controlled humidity
• Testing compatible with DIN 50324, ASTM G99 and ASTM G133
• Powerful software package for PC
Additional capabilities:
• High temperature model (1000°C max temperature)
• Range of ball/pin holders available
• Contact depth measurement
• High speed motor (1500 rpm)
• Electrical contact resistance
