What is the difference between reciprocated and non-reciprocated sliding?

23.10.2019 tribonet 734 Views

Sliding mode is an often overlooked aspect of tribological testing; in some applications surfaces are reciprocated with respect to each other, while in other applications the slider only contacts fresh counter surface. For example, in […]
