Kinetic Friction Coefficient

A More Advanced Type of Wear Tester has been Realized
In this instrument, for a single measurement of test paper strip, it is possible to create 3-dimensional wear condition graphs showing the relationships between the number of wear movements, vertical loading, friction and wear volumes, and to determine the critical loading responding to wear transitions. Accordingly, not only will it be unnecessary to have multiple test pieces, but the testing time will also be greatly shortened and the requirement for troublesome data analysis can be eliminated, allowing excellent data to be obtained.

Operation only requires placing the sample on the test piece table and tracing the object with your finger or other object. Measurement can be easily carried out.
In addition, using the handy probe, samples that can not be loaded on the test piece table can also be measured.

Supports a Variety of Research Topics
A DC servo motor (FW type) permits a linear movement of the mobile base when loaded with a test piece.
The resistance transmission mechanism, consisting of the vertical arm and horizontal arm with two fulcrums, conveys the resistance received from each adapter to the detector of the load converter.
A zero balancer is provided at one end of the horizontal arm to balance the dead weight of each adapter so that the vertical loading becomes zero.
In addition, at the other end of the arm there is an adaptor holder, and directly above this there is a weight pan on which weights up to 1000g can be applied.
The detected resistance is amplified by the dynamic strain amplifier and can be output to each recorder.
An easy to use touch panel has been utilized in the operation and display units.

Evaluates Film Adhesion from the Scratch Resistance caused by Continuous Loading
Using two pulse motors, the mobile base that is loaded with the test piece and the continuous loading weight guide are moved simultaneously.
In order to rotate the arm to which the scratching needle is attached, it is possible to proportionally increase the vertical loading of the continuous loading weights on the scratching needle test piece as the test piece travels.
In addition, the scratching needle mounting part incorporates a load converter that detects the resistance. From the friction resistance in the low loading range, minute changes in the scratching resistance and peeling resistance can be directly detected.
In the friction and wear test, by carrying out both-way operation of the test piece under fixed loading conditions, the friction resistance can be detected from the ball indenter.

Indicates Scratch Resistance in Numerical Values using Continuous Loading
onical scratch needles are used, which have R-processed tips (various types between 0.005-1.0mm). As the mobile base loaded with the test piece travels, continuous loading is applied to the scratching needle by the weight rolling on the arm.
The travel distance is 100mm, and by replacing the continuous loading weight it is possible to select 0-50g, 0-100g, or 0-200g.
For example, by adding the 0-200g continuous loading weights to the 100g fixed loading weight that is already loaded, it is possible to obtain 100-300g loading.
Due to the use of a mechanical continuous loading device, troublesome calibration will not be required. Highly reproducible testing can always be carried out.
By using only the fixed loading weight without the continuous loading weights, the scratching hardness can also be obtained.

Two Types of Testing in One Instrument! Both-way Sliding Testing and Rotating Drum Testing
This friction and wear tester allows not only the same sliding testing as that offered by TriboStation, but also enables rotating drum testing. Adding to the same sliding testing that was possible with previous friction and wear testers, rotation drum testing can also be carried out.

The friction and wear tester provides two functions in the same machine, so that testing of photosensitive drums and supply paper rollers can be measured with the same rotation used under the actual measurement conditions, while paper and plate-shaped samples can be measured by straight line both-way sliding testing.
