ST Instruments offers a complete range of products to characterise the mechanical properties of materials. To define mechanical properties like adhesion, friction and scratch resistance, ST Instruments offers scratch systems from macro range down to the nano range. To quantify the hardness, Young’s Modulus and stiffness of materials, ST Instruments offers a wide range of indentation systems. Wear and friction characteristics can be defined with the (nano) Tribometer.

The Open Platform technology provides the possibility to combine several technologies in one single instrument.
