MicroForce Micro Friction and Wear Testing Machine

MicroForceMicro Force Friction and Wear Tester

Introduction:

Ducom MicroForce is a novel multi-scale testing platform. The MicroForce test head can precisely control the applied load and measure friction forces ranging from 10 mN to 10 N.

With sub-micron resolution, it is ideal for micro-scale friction measurements. This testing tool can be used for various innovative tests, including mapping the independent effects of surface forces and interfacial friction deformation.

Overall, the MicroForce micro force friction and wear tester is an essential tool for any laboratory interested in multi-scale testing and evaluating the role of scale in tribology. The Ducom MicroForce test head can also be easily integrated into various equipment such as Ducom rotary friction and wear testers, linear reciprocating friction and wear testers, and scratch testers.

Features:

· Interchangeable springs for wide-range and high-resolution measurement of load and friction forces.

· Interchangeable linear reciprocating motion actuators, rotary motion actuators, and oscillatory motion actuators.

· Determination of adhesion forces by acquiring force-displacement curves.

· Optional temperature control system for temperatures ranging from room temperature to 80°C.

· Optional humidity control system for humidity levels from 30% RH to 75% RH.

· Friction corrosion cell with a three-electrode potentiostat, generating linear polarization curves according to ASTM G59 to determine mass loss due to corrosion.

Options:

· Interchangeable actuators: High-precision stages for linear motion and low-speed rotation.

· Lubricant cup and heating system: The lubricant cup can hold sample discs and test lubricants. The lubricant temperature is controlled by a cartridge heater and PT-100 sensor.

· Humidity control system: A standalone humidity controller can generate dry and humid air to enhance the tester's capability to evaluate material properties in humid environments.

· Friction corrosion cell: Used with a three-electrode potentiostat, it conveniently determines open circuit potential, linear polarization curves, Tafel curves, and corrosion mass loss.
