The tribology cell turns the Physica MCR rheometers into a tribometer based on the ball-on-3-plates principle. The setup consists of a half-inch ball attached to a shaft and a bottom stage clamping three rectangular friction partners. The bottom stage is movable in all three dimensions, ensuring equal load on all contact points. The excellent speed and torque control of the rheometer allow Stribeck curve and static friction measurements of oils and greases as well as wear measurements on one single instrument.

Technical highlights

  • Fully functional tribometer based on the ball-on-three-plates principle
  • Normal load range: 1 to 70 N
  • Maximum speed: 3000 rpm ~ sliding speed: 1.41 m/s
  • Maximum torque: 300 mNm ~ friction force: 58.8 N
  • Stribeck curve and static friction measurements
  • Peltier temperature control: -40 to 200 °C
  • Moveable sample holder ensures equal load on all friction partners
  • Ball bearing option enables lubricant performance tests in ball bearings

Software

  • Flexible test programming in rotation and oscillation
  • Display of all tribological parameters
  • Pre-defined workbooks for Stribeck curves and static friction tests
