This friction and wear tester is designed and manufactured in accordance with the national standard GB/T 12444-2006 “Test Method for Sliding Wear of Metal Materials – Ring-and-Block Test Method” and fully complies with this standard.
Applications
Material Evaluation: Determine friction coefficients and wear rates of metals and alloys.
Lubricant Testing: Assess performance of oils, greases, and solid lubricants under sliding conditions.
Surface Treatment Assessment: Evaluate coatings, plating, and surface-hardened layers for durability.
Mechanical Component Testing: Simulate real-world contact conditions for bearings, gears, and other metal parts.
Research and Development: Support tribology studies, material optimization, and failure analysis.
Quality Control: Ensure consistency and reliability of metal products in manufacturing.
High-Temperature and Extreme Conditions: Test performance under controlled temperature, humidity, or corrosive environments.
Features
The Ring-and-Block Friction and Wear Tester mainly consists of the following components:
Machine base and frame
Drive spindle with AC servo drive system
Friction pair and specimen clamping device
Test force loading device
Electronic measurement systems for various test parameters
Computer with data acquisition board and dedicated control software
The spindle drive is powered by an AC servo motor and control system, which provides constant output across the full speed range and operates smoothly at very low speeds. This enables stepless speed adjustment of the spindle (ring) over a wide range to meet diverse research requirements.
Parameters such as spindle (ring) speed, number of revolutions (test cycles), friction torque (friction coefficient and force), and friction time are controlled by the computer, with real-time data acquisition and plotting of corresponding test curves (e.g., friction force vs. time). All data can be stored, reviewed, and printed without human error interference. The tester automatically stops if any parameter exceeds preset values.
