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
