Introduction to the Pin-on-Disk Tribometer

Nanovea Pin-on-Disk Tribometer operates on the following principal: a flat, pin or sphere is loaded onto the test sample with a precisely known weight.The highly stiff elastic arm insures a nearly fixed contact point and thus a stable position in the friction track. The friction coefficient is determined during the test by measuring the deflection of the elastic arm of by direct measurement of the change in torque. Wear coefficients for the pin and disk material are calculated from the volume of material lost during the test. This simple method facilitates the study of friction and wear behavior of almost every material combination with or without lubrication.

Users can easily control test parameters such as: speed, frequency, contact pressure and varying time. Real-life conditions of a practical wear situation can be closely simulated by precise control of humidity, temperature and gas composition.
