The article is sponsored by Bruker. Friction is the great obstacle to overcome when testing new products with moving parts. While friction can never disappear completely, it may be possible to achieve ultralow friction: a […]
Ever-growing customer demands lead to tougher material requirements. New high-performing materials and surface treatments become available every week with properties which were thought impossible. However, replacing the material of a machine component comes at a […]
The optimization of lubricated rolling contacts with regard to friction and wear is an engineering challenge due to the complex mechanical, chemical and thermal stresses in the surface near area. Calculation models are used to […]
Throughout time, many test setups have been developed to evaluate the behaviour of cam-roller interfaces and improve their tribological performance. However, the working conditions of these tribological systems are often not accurately captured. The work […]
Quality Magazine have published an article about using benchtop mechanical testing to assess materials in the automotive industry, saving time and money. Full scale tests are often used to test the frictional behaviour of materials, […]
