Tribometry

Device

TRB3 Pin-on-Disc Tribometer / Anton Paar - CSM

Expected Result

Quantitative data on the wear rate and friction coefficient of materials, allowing manufacturers to evaluate durability and performance under sliding conditions.

Method

Tribology testing using a pin-on-disc setup to measure friction and wear properties under controlled environmental conditions. The TRB3 is designed to study the wear resistance of coatings and materials by applying a constant load and monitoring the wear over time.

Case Study

An automotive parts manufacturer tests a hard coating for brake discs. Using the TRB3 tribometer, the wear rate and friction properties are assessed under conditions simulating real-world use, providing valuable insights into the coating’s durability and effectiveness in reducing wear.
