Simulating the friction of lubricants and materials with a high-frequency reciprocating rig
11 Jul 2023Testing of surfaces and lubricants on reciprocating systems, such as engines and linear compressors, requires the use of laboratory-scale tribometers prior to final component testing. In this application note from Bruker, explore a tribometry setup that enables time-effective screening of lubricants and materials at the benchtop scale using a UMT TriboLab™.

Surface Area TestingPhysisorption studies fundamental parameters essential for the characterization of materials such as the specific surface area and pore size distribution. Properties such as porosity, strength, hardness, permeability, separation selectivity, corrosion, and thermal stress resistance can all be directly correlated to the porous structure of a material.Surface AnalysisScreeningUsing robotics, data processing and control software, liquid handling devices and sensitive detectors, screening allows a researcher to quickly conduct millions of chemical, genetic or pharmacological tests.
