LUBRICATION TESTING ADVANCEMENT: CONTINUOUS STRIBECK CURVE MEASUREMENT!
Irvine, Calif., Oct 24, 2013 – Nanovea demonstrates for the first time the ability to measure a continuous Stribeck Curve. Using the Nanovea Tribometer advanced speed control, from 2000 to 0.01 rpm, within 10 minutes software monitoring provides a complete Stribeck Curve. Prior to this advancement lubrication testing of a Stribeck Curve has been shown to be evaluated in a stepwise fashion requiring data stitching. This advancement provides precise data throughout lubricant regime evaluation and substantially reduces time and cost. The test also shows a great potential to be used in different industrial engineering applications.
