Abstract
This paper considers construction and advantage of modern tribometer conception. Universal Tribometer enables simulation of different contact and test types. Special device enables pin-on-disc (rotational), ball-on- disc and linear reciprocating test types. The main purpose of tribometer was investigation of friction and wear of different materials with or without lubricant according to appropriate standards. Tribometer concept and design solution of same subassemblies that provide defined requests fulfill were described in details. System design and construction with data measurement information are specially described.
Keywords: Tribometer, design, universal.
