Tribology testing of electrical connectors to evaluate friction, wear, contact resistance, and coating durability.

With constant use, varying hot and cold environments, and micro-motion, electrical connector fretting failure is a constant challenge among many industries. Rtec-Instruments’ FFT-M Fretting Testerquickly assesses the tribological properties of materials and coatings, making it invaluable for evaluating connector materials’ friction and wear characteristics. This advanced benchtop tester takes a specialized approach and offers real-time monitoring of current, voltage, wear, and corrosion measurements under controlled temperature and humidity conditions. By employing state-of-the-art electromagnetic actuators, piezo force sensors, and voice-coil technology, it empowers engineers to replicate and study fretting corrosion scenarios comprehensively. With the FFT-M, industries can make informed decisions regarding connector materials, coatings, and lubrication strategies, ending electrical connector fretting wear and fortifying connections for a more reliable future.
