The Rotary Tribometer is a multifunctional friction and wear testing instrument designed for comprehensive tribological research. You use this system to study friction behavior, wear mechanisms, and lubrication performance under controlled rotational motion. By combining axial loading, precise load control, and an open test platform, the Rotary Tribometer allows you to simulate a wide range of real operating conditions, including dry friction, lubricated friction, high-speed rotation, and high-temperature environments. It provides accurate measurement of friction coefficient, wear behavior, temperature, vibration, and electrical contact resistance for material and lubricant evaluation.

Application

You can apply the Rotary Tribometer in laboratory research, quality evaluation, and component performance testing across multiple industries, including:

Lubricant anti-wear, extreme-pressure, and friction performance evaluation

(four-ball tests, thrust washer tests)

Material friction and wear research

(pin-on-disk, thrust pad, bearing materials, rolling contact fatigue)

Performance evaluation of hydraulic and lubrication system components

(pump vanes, slipper pads, seals)

Friction, wear, and lifetime analysis of bearings, gears, and rotating components

High-temperature dry friction and lubricated friction testing

(with test temperatures up to 600 °C using high-temperature fixtures)

Tribocorrosion and electrochemical wear studies

(lip seals and three-electrode systems)

Small-sample friction testing

(LVFA, Suzuki-type tests, miniature thrust pads)

Rolling contact fatigue and tilting bearing performance evaluation

Standards

You can conduct tests in accordance with widely recognized international and regional standards, including:

(1) GB/T 3140 series – Wear performance testing of lubricating oils and greases

(2) ASTM D2266 – Anti-wear properties of lubricating grease (four-ball method)
