1d Measurement
Adhesion Tackiness Analyzer
The Adhesion Tackiness Analyzer is a 1D force measurement system for the high-precise, reproducible and temperature-dependent determination of the adhesion and tackiness
properties of lubricants, greases and other viscous or semi-solid fluids.
Features:
- measurement of the complete indentation and pull-off curve of materials in the mN range
- calculation of thread length, pull-off force & energy of viscoelastic materials or foods (fats, creams, honey, ...)
- force, pull-off speed & temperature adjustable
- small volumes and 15 different samples
- integrated heating function up to 100°C
- fully automated measurement process incl. software
- comprehensive experiment configuration & visualization
2d Measurement
Pin-on-Disc Friction Analyzer
The Pin-on-Disc Friction Analyzer is a 2D force measurement system for the high-precise, universal and load-dependent determination of the coefficient of friction, especially of
compliant sample materials such as rubber or elastomers, e.g. in moving seals.
Features:
- control of normal force & measurement of friction force
- speed, angle of rotation & radius precisely adjustable
- forces from 100 mN to 10 N, controlled in the mN range
- optional syringe module
- fully automated measurement process incl. software
- comprehensive experiment configuration & visualization
- low weight and small footprint
3d Measurement
TEAMS Analyzer
The TEAMS Analyzer (Tactile Equipment for Analysis of Materials and Surfaces) is a compact 3D µ-tribometer that unites a high-precise XYZ drive system with a 3-axis force sensor and a dynamic drive. It enables the determination of CoF, a DMA investigation or special characterization of compliant or even soft sample materials (e.g. gels, contact lenses or bio films) and surfaces (optical change due to lubricant effect/refractive index, microstructure).
Features:
- travel range of 20x20x100 mm³ (XYZ) with 0.1 µm resolution
- wide force measurement range up to 10 N with µN resolution
- el.-dynamic drive horizontally or vertically avaiable
- uni-directional (one-way) or bi-directional (reciprocal) motion
- simple sample exchange and various holders/SEM-pins
- external or build-in PC (with Windows or Linux, Wifi-ready)
- programmability of your own experiments/test sequences
- live visualization and export of measurement results
- FAIR-Data compliant & LIMS compatible
- low weight (<12 Kg) and small footprint (360x250x360 mm³)
