The Pin-on-Disc Machine is a classic tribological testing instrument designed for studying friction, wear, and contact behavior of materials under controlled sliding conditions. You can use a pin or ball sample loaded vertically against a rotating horizontal disc to simulate real-world sliding contacts. The instrument features a pneumatic loading system that minimizes inertia effects on friction and wear response, making it suitable for dry, lubricated, and extended contact-type testing.
Application
You can apply this machine for:
(1) Evaluating dry friction and wear performance of metals, ceramics, and composite materials.
(2) Studying friction coefficient and wear behavior under lubricated conditions.
(3) Assessing wear resistance of coatings and surface-treated layers.
(4) Comparing tribological performance of lubricants.
(5) Friction and wear research of bearing and engineering materials.
(6) Simulating line or surface contact for piston ring–cylinder liner materials.
(7) Testing sliding bearing and journal materials.
(8) Investigating material wear under reciprocating motion.
(9) Correlating friction state with contact potential.
Standards
You can perform tests according to these procedures:
(1) ASTM G99 – Pin-on-Disc wear testing method.
(2) ASTM F732 – Reciprocating pin-on-plate friction test method.
(3) DIN 50324 – Methods for testing friction and wear.
(4) ISO/DIS 7148-2 – Guidelines for pin-on-disc friction and wear testing.
