Milli Tribometer

WHAT IS THE USE OF A MILLI TRIBOMETER :
Today's technological advances in polymers, thinfilms and touch screens with low contact pressure, have created new challenges for Tribology.
In response to these challenges TRIBOtechnic has created a new and innovative tribometer called the Oscillating MILLI TRIBOtester PREMIUM, for friction measurement in a low contact pressure range.
Principle:
- The normal force is applied by a patented carbonfiber cantilever arm with an ultra sensitive frictionless cardan bearing system.
- A sensor records variations of arm's displacement in order to calculate the friction coefficient. During friction test, minimal force sensor deflexion is in nanometer range.

Applications :
- Polymers
- Optical coatings
- Paints and varnishes
- Eye glass lenses
- Touch screens
- Lubricants for micro mechanic
- Vacuum coatings
- Thin films
- Metals
- Semiconductors
