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.
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.
