Tribology Lab A pin on disc tribometer consists of a stationary pin that is normally loaded against a rotating disc. The pin can have any shape to simulate a specific contact, but cylindrical tips are often used to simplify the contact geometry. This Ducom Pin/Ball on Disk Tribometer is a test instrument designed for accurate and repeatable tribological characterization of bulk materials, coatings and lubricants. It’s easily changeable holders allow users to quickly change the nature of tribological contact to something that is relevant to their application. The Pin/Ball on Disk Tribometer is used to characterize the tribological behavior for almost all material bench-marking and materials development needs. |
Different types of objectives can be resolved related to analyze wear characteristics related to lab to industrial materials etc. One of the common research activity is analyzing the wear behaviour of composites, metallic, ceramic components with different lubricant with varying loads. |
