Micropitting Rig MPT-3000

The MPT-3000 micropitting rig is an ideal triple roller contact machine for studying traction, wear and rolling contact fatigue under various combinations of rolling sliding ratios. The types of wear that can be studied include rolling contact fatigue (RCF), macro- and micro-pitting.

The open platform allows for easy access to the samples and setup. In addition, the fully automated and advanced controllers allow for high repeatability and precision measurements with the broadest test range in load, temperature, and speed.

Quickly develop high-quality materials, coatings, and lubricants with automatic and repeatable failure and comparative analysis. In addition, the MPT-3000 helps ensure that manufactured components, such as gears, bearings, and other high-contact surfaces, meet the required standards and performance criteria fast and efficiently.
