The Universal Traction Tester (UTT) is an advanced traction and rolling-sliding tribometer for measuring traction coefficients, friction behaviour, and Stribeck curves under precisely controlled conditions.
With a unique operating range from mN to 2,000 N, −6 to 6 m/s, and cryogenic temperatures to 180°C, the UTT enables accurate simulation of demanding real-world applications.
High-precision force sensors, electrified contact testing, and advanced environmental control make the UTT ideal for lubricant, material, bearing, gear, and EV powertrain research.
