The Mini Traction Machine (MTM)
The Mini-Traction Machine is a multi-purpose instrument for measuring friction and traction properties of lubricated and unlubricated surface contacts, under a wide range of rolling and sliding conditions.
The Schwingung Reibung Verschleib (SRV)
This machine is used to evaluate friction and wear properties of liquid lubricants and greases in a variety of sliding contacts. Standardised test specimens and components from original equipment manufacturers can be used.
Measuring Volatility
Volatility and high temperature performance of lubricants is dependent on two key parameters; product viscosity and product chemistry. This video shows what can happen in a standard test.
