A New Testing Rig for Researching the Friction and Wear of the Automobile Elements Under Dynamic Load and Its Applications

We have made a new rig of the friction and wear testing rig which researches the slipping and adhesive wear characteristics of the automobile elements under vibrating and loading conditions, and also evaluates the effect of lubricating oil on the friction and wear of materials. The dynamic characteristics of the tribology of materials can also be assessed with this testing rig.

This tester can automatically and synchronously measure and record the dynamic friction force, the coefficient of friction, and the resulting pressure during the tests. The tester has been equipped with a microcomputer which samples displays and records the test results. The tester is sensitive of good reproducibility, and achieves consistent results.
