Product Brochure

The reciprocating tribometer is a versatile testing system widely used to study the friction and wear properties of materials and surface coatings. With standard pin-on-disc friction pairs, it can also be configured for ball-on-disc tests, and offers additional options for reciprocating, rotational, and ring-on-block friction setups. This friction and wear testing equipment operates with mechanical reciprocation up to 30Hz, while higher frequencies are achieved through electromagnetic drive, offering flexibility for a wide range of testing conditions.
