Detailed Module Information

Main Features:

Capacitive force sensors for sensitivity
Up to 200 N sensor
6 to -6 m/s
Temperatures from -40°C to 250 °C
Measure current and voltage

Using two independently controlled closed-loop servo drives, our mini traction machine module operates at a high sliding to rolling ratio. Because of its one-click operation and wide load, speed, and temperature range, the testing module is ideal for lubricant and oil sustainability research and quality control development. Evaluate the performance and efficiency of lubricants for applications including artificial joints, EV lubricants, engine efficiency, and railways greases.
Not only does the mini traction machine module perform ASTM, DIN, and ISO standards, it also provides rapid testing to reduce operation costs. Optimize friction and wear properties of lubricants under realistic contact condition simulations and replicate various lubrication regimes such as boundary, mixed, and elastohydrodynamic lubrication (EHL).
