Multi Function Tribometer MFT-5000


A tribometer allows you to study the interaction of surfaces, from friction and lubrication to wear and abrasion. Interacting surfaces are found everywhere, in ball bearings, between car tyres and the road or between a finger and a touch screen. Friction is vital to breaks, but may damage parts inside an engine. Designing materials to interact in an optimal way, both with regard to performance and life-time, is therefore crucial.


The Rtec MFT-5000 tribometer offered by ST Instruments is a versatile, modular instrument which allows you to experiment even down to nanometer scales, at temperatures ranging from 1200 °C to -120 °C and in controlled environments, e.g. different gasses or a vacuum. A range of sensors and modules allows measurement of many different variables.
