The OCAS multi-function tribometer is a versatile platform on which different available movement stages, temperature stages, counterbodies and sensors can be mounted to create different test conditions. Therefore, it can be used to perform a multitude of standardised tests or custom tests specific for an application.
Standard test examples
- Scratch testing on coatings according to ASTM C1624 / ISO 20502
- Reciprocating friction test according to DIN 51834
Custom test examples
- Hot hardness testing up to 1000 °C under protective atmosphere
- Scratch testing on non-standard samples, with the possibility of scratches up to 150 mm long
- Multiple scratch testing
- Reciprocating friction test with specific tools and parameters
- Etc.
Specifications
- Load sensors from 100 N to 250 kg capacity
- Large X-Y movement stage of 150 mm x 250 mm
- Additional reciprocating motion up to 80 Hz with LVDT positional encoder
- Heating test stage up to 1000 °C
