Testing Principle:
The tester simulates different friction conditions (dry or wet friction). Under the set test force and spindle speed, the friction pair slides against the sample. The device collects key data, including friction torque and coefficient of friction, in real time. The touchscreen displays the results, and test curves allow you to analyze material friction and wear performance efficiently.
