FRICTION USING
TRIBOMETER
• We will be using the Ducom wear and friction monitor for the project.
• The Ducom Wear and Friction Monitor (WFM) has been developed as a modular test
system capable of conducting tribological tests for tribological evaluation in a variety of
test conditions.
WORKING OF THE EQUIPMENT
• The testing equipment comprises of a rotary drive that controls disc rotation.
• The counter specimen which may be a ball, pin or any other custom geometry is held
firmly in a friction/loading arm.
• A known load is applied upon the counter specimen to achieve the desired contact
stress.
• The height of the ball or pin material decreases as the material wears off. This
decrease in height is used to calculate the wear and other properties. There are
sensors attached at the end of the holding arm which calculate the various forces.
OTHER PARTS
• Position of the nozzle is adjustable to pour lubricant on rotating disc just ahead of
surface contact between pin and disc with possibility of adjusting flow rate.
• Number of runs : 5
• Load = 19.6 N
• Varying sliding velocity(rpm)
• Varying sliding distance(time)
