Measurement of friction coefficient under high load conditions is possible 【ETM traction testing machine】.
It automatically measures the traction (friction) coefficient with a maximum load of 1,650N.
**Product Overview** The ETM traction testing machine is a tabletop friction and wear testing machine of the ball-on-disk type, provided by the UK company PCS Instruments. It is specialized for testing conditions with higher surface pressures compared to the conventional MTM traction testing machine. **Features** It is capable of sliding test pieces within a slip rate range of ±10,000%. By using standard test pieces, it can reproduce surface pressures from 1.4 to 3.5 GPa, and in some materials, the maximum surface pressure can reach 7.1 GPa. By using the optional 3D-SLIM, it is possible to observe the process of tribofilm formation and removal. **Main Evaluation Contents** Stribeck curve (friction coefficient × rolling speed) Traction curve (friction coefficient × slip rate) Tribofilm measurement *Optional
