Tribology of Polymers by Tribometer

Tribology of Polymers are commonly seen for tribological applications, such as tires, bearings and conveyor belts. Different wear mechanisms occur depending on the mechanical properties of the polymer, the contact conditions, and the properties of the debris or transfer film formed during the wear process. In order to ensure that the polymers possess sufficient wear resistance under the service conditions, reliable and quantifiable tribological evaluation is in need. It allows us to quantitatively compare the wear behaviors of different polymers in a controlled and monitored manner and to select the best candidate for the target application. The Nanovea Tribometer offers repeatable wear and friction testing using ISO and ASTM compliant rotative and linear modes, with optional high temperature wear and lubrication modules available in one pre-integrated system. This unmatched range allows users to simulate different work environment of the polymers including concentrated stress, wear and high temperature, etc.
