TE 96 INERTIA VACUUM MICRO TRIBOMETER

The TE 96 is very simple “coast-down” tribometer using a miniature sliding four ball test configuration. The tester comprises a bench with a bell-jar vacuum chamber, which is connected to a vacuum pump. A motor driven vacuum feed-through provides a rotating shaft within the chamber. A simple ball cup is mounted on the shaft, in which three test balls are pressed. Balls as small as 2 mm can be used, providing the user is sufficiently skilled in handling such items. For ease of handling and measurement, 3 mm test balls are recommended.
