The Vacuum Friction and Wear Tester integrates a proven friction and wear testing mechanism into a sealed vacuum chamber, enabling reliable tribological testing under controlled vacuum conditions. By reproducing low-pressure environments that are difficult to simulate with conventional equipment, this system makes friction and wear evaluation under vacuum straightforward and repeatable. It is especially suited for performance assessment of materials, coatings, and components used in aerospace, advanced materials research, and emerging technologies where ambient-pressure testing is insufficient.
Standards
The Vacuum Friction and Wear Tester supports or is applicable to the following international and industry standards:
NASA / SAE AMS 3150 (Vacuum friction and wear testing of aerospace materials)
ESA PSS-01-705 (Friction and wear testing for space application materials under vacuum)
GB/T 6040-2008 (Metallic surface wear resistance test method)
GB/T 10375-2008 (Tribological test methods – reciprocating friction and wear testing)
ISO 12137-2 (Abrasion resistance of coated fabrics and films – environmental testing)
ISO 20502 (Fine ceramics and coatings scratch / wear testing, adaptable to vacuum conditions)
JIS L 0849 (Abrasion resistance test method for plastic products, optional vacuum conditions)
JIS P 8139 (Friction and wear performance evaluation of coatings, applicable in vacuum chambers)

Features
Vacuum-integrated tribological testing structure
A well-established friction and wear testing mechanism is housed within a vacuum chamber, enabling accurate testing under low-pressure conditions.
Stable and reliable loading system
The balanced weight loading method allows precise load application starting from low loads, ensuring consistent contact conditions during testing.
Flexible test configuration
The rotating worktable supports a wide range of test modes, including optional high-speed wear testing and customized low-load configurations.
Wide vacuum capability
The standard configuration achieves vacuum levels down to 10 Pa, with optional high-vacuum specifications available to meet specialized testing requirements.
Integrated data acquisition and analysis
Friction force signals are captured via a dedicated sensor and processed using professional tribological analysis software for reliable result interpretation.
