Multi-Functional Material Surface Friction Comprehensive Tester
The Multi-Functional Material Surface Friction Comprehensive Tester is a highly modular instrument designed to evaluate the friction and wear performance of material or component surfaces, including coatings and platings. The instrument integrates multiple testing modes, including rotational friction, reciprocating friction, ring-on-block friction, and high/low-temperature friction tests. Experiments can be conducted under different media conditions (e.g., lubricating oil, saline), achieving high-precision measurement of friction force, friction coefficient, wear volume, and wear scar morphology. Its modular design allows quick configuration and function expansion, with high automation and ease of operation, making it suitable for materials science research, industrial product development, and quality control.
