Automotive Solutions We Offer

We deliver mechanical and surface testing automotive industry solutions for all quality control and and research applications

Brake Testing

Rtec Instruments‘ brake screening tester provides tribological analysis of quick rotor and brake materials by measuring friction and wear. The brake tester comes with ultra high torque motors. Combined with a patented in-line profilometer, wear quantification of both brake and rotor surface change vs number of cycles, speed, and loads is possible. Perform both automotive standard tests (SAE J2522) and custom test procedures cost effectively on brake pads, frictional materials, and more.

Marr Resistance, Scratch Adhesion of Paint, Coatings

The automotive industry has extensively used composite coatings for automotive body panels. Faced with environmental challenges, top level coatings require high clarity and gloss to achieve the desired visual effect over long periods of time. Study marr resistance, scratch adhesion, scratch hardness, durability, wear resistance at nano, micro, and macro scale. 

Thermal Spray Coatings

Various thermal spray coatings for a wide range of engine transmission, steering, suspension, and several other components on automobile parts are used to reduce wear and corrosion.  Rtec Instruments offers solutions to measure thermal spray coating adhesion, friction, hardness, wear, durability, roughness, corrosion resistance, abrasion resistance, surface roughness and many more across a wide range of test conditions.

Oil, Lubricant, Additives Testing

Test oil, lubricants, additives, grease, and more using several ASTM, DIN, ISO standards.  Test several standard and customized tests across a wide range of load, speeds, test temperatures. These can be rotary, block on ring, 4 ball, SRV, HFRR, linear reciprocating, EP wear modes, and more.

Fretting and Wear Resistance

Our tribometers and fretting testers provide unequaled specifications for stroke and frequency in the industry. Controlled stroke from 5 microns at 500 Hz frequency across a wide temperature range makes it an ideal fretting wear tester for both automotive industrial quality control and university research.
