UMT-3 is the world’s most advanced heavy duty tribometer. This fully-computerized tester of the acclaimed design can perform practically all common tribological tests, which has made it the widely used tribometer in the world.
Unique Features
- Interchangeable Lower and Upper Drives to do Rotary, Reciprocating and Block on ring tests on same tool.
- Force maintained by servo control motors (not by dead weight). Close loop feedback.
- All motions Independently programmable (for custom wear tracks)
- Automatic Coefficient of Friction vs Load/Velocity curves generated
- Environmental Chambers Available
- Static or Dynamic Lubrication using computer controlled pumps.
- Monitors and records Insitu Acoustic emission, electrical data, friction, wear, down force, temperature, humidity etc.
- ISO, ASTM and DIN compliant
- Simple, flexible, intuitive, easy to use windows-based software package
Some of the Typical Tests Routinely Run on the UMT-series Tribometers:
- Pin/ball-on-disc with an either concentric or spiral wear track.
- Disc/ring-on-ring/disc with both or one of the disc/ring rotating,
- Pin/ball-on-plate with an either reciprocating or rotating or stationary upper pin/ball on an either linearly-reciprocating or stationary plate
- Flat-on-flat with self-aligning specimen holders and at least one of them linearly-reciprocating; when both of them are linearly reciprocating in perpendicular axes with a controlled ratio of their .
- Block-on-ring/wheel with a rotating ring/wheel/bearing/seal (including standard Timken and Falex rings) and either stationary or sliding block or plate:
- Cylinder-on-cylinder at the programmable angle from 0 (parallel axes) to 90 degree (perpendicular axes).
- Screw-in-nut or drill-in-hole, with either screw/drill or nut/hole rotating and either the same or other specimen moving in and out of the thread/hole.
- Numerous tests of fuels, oils, greases and solid lubricants
In all these and numerous other tests, the UMT-3 can perform an automated synchronized control of several specimen motions with linear speeds from 0.1 micron/s to 30 m/s (7 orders of magnitude!) and angular speeds ranging from 0.001 to 7,000 rpm, under the precision loads from 10 N to 1.2 kN (9 orders of magnitude!). In these unprecedented wide ranges, the UMT-3 can automatically monitor a number of process parameters in-situ with a high sampling rate.
