The Nano+Micro-Tribometer UNMT-1 is a precision tribometer for testing of rigid and flexible magnetic and magneto optical media.

The UNMT will perform the following and many additional tests:

Overcoat scratch-resistance Testing Method (PDF) | Micro-Scratch Module (PDF)
Pull-off force (vertical stiction) test Testing Method | PDF
Flexible Magnetic Media studies | PDF
Nano-Scale Defectoscopy | PFD
Start-stop test at any disk radius
Start-stop test with programmable preload
Park-stiction test when head is resting on the disk, then disk starts and the breakaway stiction can be measured in both lateral and vertical directions
Fly-stiction test, which incorporate some CSS, some continuous flying, and some park stiction
Drag (friction) test
Evaluation of lubricants by mapping the disk surface with both vertical and lateral stiction measurements
Accelerated wear test (slow speed start-stop test)
Stribeck curve at variable rotational speeds and loads
Nano-indentation | PDF

In these tests, the UNMT can measure the following parameters:
