UMT-2 is the most versatile nano-micro tribometer in the world. Its single-platform, multiple-configuration, fully-computerized unique acclaimed modular design can perform practically all common tribological tests on nano and micro scales. The UMT-2 is used by wide variety of industries such as biomedical, microelectronics, paper, coatings, etc.
Unique Features
- Interchangeable Lower and Upper Drives to do Rotary, Reciprocating and Block on ring tests on same tool.
- Force maintained by servo control motors (not by dead weight). Close loop feedback.
- All motions Independently programmable (for custom wear tracks)
- Automatic Coefficient of Friction vs Load/Velocity curves generated (tribological finger print)
- Environmental Chambers Available
- Monitors and records Insitu Acoustic emission, electrical data, friction, wear, down force, temperature, humidity etc.
- ISO, ASTM and DIN compliant
- Simple, flexible, intuitive, easy to use windows-based software package
Some of the typical tests routinely run on the UMT-series tribometers:
- Pin/ball-on-disc -spiral wear track or concentric wear track.
- Disc/ring-on-ring/disc with both or one of the disc/ring rotating,
- Pin/ball-on-plate with an either reciprocating or rotating or stationary upper pin/ball on an either linearly-reciprocating or stationary plate
- Flat-on-flat with self-aligning specimen holders and at least one of them linearly-reciprocating; when both of them are linearly reciprocating in perpendicular axes, a controlled ratio of their frequencies allows for either circular (ratio of 1) or butterfly-wings (ratio of 2) or other programmable wear track patterns
- Numerous tests of coatings, biomedical materials, paper, cosmetics etc.
