Materials Characterization Tribometer

The Problem

Friction is the world's single biggest waste of energy. New polymeric and nano-composite bearing material “recipes” promise substantial friction reducing solutions. However, their development and application are often hindered by current tribological (the study of lubrication, friction and wear) test systems, driven by three recognized issues:

• Long test time: Due to measurement limitations,
