Simulating the friction of lubricants and materials with a high-frequency reciprocating rig

11 Jul 2023

Testing of surfaces and lubricants on reciprocating systems, such as engines and linear compressors, requires the use of laboratory-scale tribometers prior to final component testing. In this application note from Bruker, explore a tribometry setup that enables time-effective screening of lubricants and materials at the benchtop scale using a UMT TriboLab™.

UMT TriboLab

Bruker Nano Surfaces and Metrology

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. Newly designed from the ground up, the UMT TriboLab has a unique modular concept that harnesses more functionality than ever before. 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.
