UMT TriboLab

Comprehensive materials testing for mechanical and triobological properties.

Bruker’s Universal Mechanical Tester (UMT) platform has been the most versatile and widely used tribometer on the market since the first model debuted in 2000. Now, newly designed from the ground up, the UMT TriboLab builds on that legacy of versatility with a unique modular concept that harnesses more functionality than ever before — all without any compromise in performance. In fact, the UMT TriboLab offers higher speeds, more torque, and better force measurement than any of its competitors, plus it introduces powerful new features for improved efficiency and ease-of-use.

The UMT TriboLab has exceptional modularity, broad capabilities, and unmatched ease-of-use:

• A single high-torque motor integrated into the base system accommodates the full range of speeds and torques.
• Interchangeable lower drives power the motion for nearly every possible tribology test on one compact platform.
• Eleven different force sensors from µN to kN enable an unprecedented breadth of testing.
• Heating chambers to 400°C or 1000°C, cooling modules to -25°C, and humidity chambers can be added at any time for a full range of environmental testing.
• The unique Tribo ID feature recognizes all attached components to automatically reconfigure user menus based on configuration, and uploads appropriate sensor calibration data and serial numbers.
• Quick-connects and blind-mate electrical connections provide easy, tool-free drive changeover— no tools, no screws, no cables needed.
