What it is

The Bruker UMT-1 Universal Tribometer Mechanical Tester is a model of tribometer that includes a set of spare parts and hardware, one full set of drawers filled with screws and mounting hardware, an Indenter Controller NH, two force sensors (DFM-0.5-45293 and DFH-5-45293), an objective set (4/0.10 160/0.17, 10/0.25 160/0.17, DIN20 0.40) with a spare set, a user manual, and a software CD.[2][1]

How it works

General reference — not yet source-verified

Tribometers of this class typically operate by bringing a stationary probe (such as a pin, ball, or indenter) into contact with a moving sample surface under a defined normal load. The tangential friction force generated during relative motion is measured, along with vertical displacement, to calculate coefficients of friction and wear rates.

Applications

General reference — not yet source-verified

The instrument is suited for wear and friction testing of hard and soft coatings, self-lubricating materials, polymers, ceramics, and metals. The included force sensors and indenter controller enable tests in standard tribological configurations such as pin-on-disk or ball-on-flat.
