MFT-5000 Multi-Function Tribometer

MFT-5000 多功能摩擦磨损试验机是一款集模块化摩擦学测试与专利在线三维轮廓仪于一体的通用型摩擦磨损测试设备,可在单一平台上实现从纳牛顿级至 10,000 N 的宽载荷范围及 −120 °C 至 1,200 °C 的宽温域测试。

主要特点

Tribology Synchronized Inline 3D Surface Measurement

The in-line integrated 3D profilometer captures surface topography with nanometer resolution between test cycles. The Lambda imaging head combines white light interferometry, confocal microscopy, dark field, and bright field imaging on a single profiler head — measuring transparent, rough, smooth, and steeply sloped surfaces with ease.

Multi-Range Load Capability: Nano, Micro & Macro

The MFT-5000 offers an exceptionally wide load range from nano to macro scales using interchangeable load cells. Automatic load cell detection and fast exchange allow users to switch quickly between ranges, enabling precise and reliable tribology testing for everything from delicate coatings to robust engineering materials and lubricants.

Environmental Chambers

The MFT-5000 supports tribology testing from −120°C to 1'200°C using modular environmental chambers. Available configurations include high-temperature, cryogenic, humidity, corrosion, salt spray, hydrogen charging, inert gas, and SRV chamber setups — enabling real-world condition simulation for automotive, aerospace, and energy applications.

Interchangeable Modular Drives for Flexible Test Configurations

The MFT-5000 features a highly adaptable modular drive system for rapid configuration across diverse tribology tests. Each module mounts directly onto the precision platform and integrates seamlessly with the upper load frame, enabling realistic application simulations. Its flexible design allows the system to evolve with changing and demanding testing requirements.

From Lubricants, Coatings to Surfaces: Tribology Testing for Any Material

The MFT-5000 is designed for tribology studies across a wide range of materials—from liquids such as lubricants, biofluids, and water to solids including metals, ceramics, hard coatings, and ultra-hard materials such as diamond. As a result, it supports both fundamental research and industrial development across diverse material systems.

Multi-Axis Load Cell Technology for Precise Force Measurement - Piezo, Capacitive

Patented capacitive and piezo load cells deliver high stability and resolution across the full load range. Sensor configurations support force measurement in 1, 2, or 6 axes. Dynamic torque sensors measure in-line torque during rotating tests, enabling accurate characterization of complex tribological interactions.
