Polymer Belt Wear

Wear & Friction Of Polymer Belts Using Tribometer

 

In this study, we simulated and compared the wear behaviors of belts with different surface texture to showcase the capacity of Nanovea Tribometer in simulating the wear process of the belt in a controlled and monitored manner.
