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.

Measurements by Anyone, Anywhere
The Muse Type: 94i-IIis a portable measuring instrument that can easily be used by anyone to measure the static friction coefficient between objects.
Previously, methods of measuring static friction generally used incline methods and strain gages, and their use was limited to locations such as laboratories. The inability to make measurements on-site was a weak point of these methods.
This unique instrument is offered as a “new static friction measurement method” that solves all of the above problems at once.

Expressing Sensory Evaluation in Numerical Values
This instrument allows texture, feeling, and blending, which were previously difficult to quantify, to be shown numerically.
Using three strain gages, the resistances in the X, Y and Z directions is detected.
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.

The Simplest Both-Way Wear Tester
This tester is focused on wear testing evaluation by visual inspection. The Basic Grade Type: 30, and the Type: 30S with non-staged high speed adjustment function and specified rotation number auto stop function, are available.
In addition, the 2-series and 4-series specifications, in which testing can be carried out a number of times under the same conditions, are also available.

Disk-on-disk and Ball-on-disk Friction and Wear Testing
The torque converter is directly connected to the turntable on which the test piece can be mounted.
For the loading, it will be possible to select the disk for surface contact and the ball indenter for point contact.
Because the disk and the ball indenter can both be balanced using the dead weight, low loading can be used to carry out highly accurate friction and wear testing.

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.

Easy Static Friction Coefficient Measurement Allows Use as a Research, Inspection and Teaching Aid
The test piece is installed on the ascending board and flat indenter. The ascending board is provided with a sensor that monitors the movement of the flat indenter.
The ascending board starts from the horizontal position, and the tilt increases when the measurement begins. The sensor detects the motion when the flat indenter begins to slide, and instantly stops the ascending board.
The angle and tan?? at this time should be read.

Use for Peeling and Tensile Strength Evaluations
The test piece clamps on both sides move at the same speed in opposite directions, and the resistance is accurately measured at one of the clamps.
An empty part is prepared between both clamps into which the unpeeled sample is inserted.
Accordingly, the T-type Peeling

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.

Super Wide Range! Allowing Testing from Minimum 20g to Maximum 100kg
Using a high sensitivity balance arm method for the minimum loading of 20g up to 10kg, high loading from 10kg to 100kg can be safely applied.
Utilizing a raising and lowering type loading mechanism, a friction and wear tester with an exceptionally wide range of loading has been realized.

Tribogear with a Minimum 0.1g-10g Loading Range
This is a wear tester that allows measurement from very low loading (0.1g) that was previously difficult to measure, to a maximum loading of 10g.
A turntable with a high speed of 3000rpm and width of 80mm is utilized to allow a wide range of wear testing.
The minimum loading from 0.1g up to 10g of the very low loading wear tester is realized using a flat spring pressing method.
For the turntable, a new type of turntable is utilized which has a low vibration that will not affect the measurement when using very low loading.
This instrument makes it possible to precisely measure the wear of thin films and surface processing, for which measurement was formerly difficult.

The basic performance is comparable to high-end models such as touch panel operation and various measurement ranges.
A load converter with an integrated stylus holder has been adopted to further improve operability.
Tribosoft (optional) makes it easy to measure, analyze, and manage from measuring the coefficient of static friction to measuring reciprocating wear.

Incorporation in a Vacuum Tank of Various Types of Friction and Wear Testing Equipment for Testing in a Vacuum
By incorporating highly reputed Tribogear friction and wear testers in a vacuum chamber, it has become possible to carry out various kinds of friction and wear testing in a vacuum. This makes it possible to easily conduct product evaluation in a vacuum, which was formerly difficult, and the instruments are widely applicable to research and development applications for space manufacturing, new materials, and new technology.
