Principle

  1. Friction control: The friction is controlled by an electronic weighing sensor. The user can set the range and maintain constant pressure to ensure test consistency.
  2. Friction motion simulation: The friction head moves along the surface of the sample, with adjustable speed (1-300 mm/min) and stroke (0-100mm) to simulate different friction scenarios.
  3. Multi-mode testing: Supports dry friction, wet friction, ink shedding, label discoloration and other tests to meet the needs of different materials.
  4. Data collection and analysis: Real-time recording of friction and speed, export of data via USB for easy analysis.
  5. Result evaluation: Evaluate the wear resistance and friction coefficient of the material through data such as friction and speed.
