The control of friction and wear in moving machine parts is a critical issue facing all manufacturers. It can be crucial to have quantitative data obtained at varying humidity and temperature and in the presence of lubricants. CSM Tribometers have proven their reliability in over hundreds of laboratories worldwide, for studying:
-
New materials (ceramics, metals, polymers)
-
Lubricants and oil additives
-
Self-lubricating systems
-
Quality assurance
