Why the Triple Disc Machine? Three-disc rolling instruments are designed to assess and evaluate the resistance of materials or coatings to various types of wear. These types of wear include rolling contact fatigue (RCF), pitting, and micro-pitting. By simulating real-life conditions using different rolling or sliding combinations, contact pressures, and lubrication regimes, researchers and product developers explore and understand the behavior of materials, coatings, and lubricants under different operating conditions.

Rtec-Instruments’ MPT-3000 Micropitting Tester is an ideal triple roller contact machine for studying traction, wear, and rolling contact fatigue under various combinations of rolling sliding ratios. The open platform architecture allows for easy access to the samples and setup. In addition, the fully automated and advanced controllers allow for high repeatability and precision measurements with the broadest test range in load, temperature, and speed. Quickly develop high-quality materials, coatings, and lubricants with automatic and repeatable failure and comparative analysis. In addition, the MPT-3000 helps ensure that manufactured components, such as gears, bearings, and other high-contact surfaces, meet the required standards and performance criteria fast and efficiently.
