Materials Tribology for progress in the selection of materials and coatings

Optimol tribometers assist you in quick, straightforward and low-risk comparisons of materials and material combinations. System properties, such as the coefficient of friction and the degree of wear, are important factors here. Today's planning and development processes require a lot of time and effort, which is due to the fact that entire components must often be manufactured from different materials and then be tested on the test bench or even in the field. Thanks to our know-how and the selection of quick, straightforward and cost-efficient methods offered within our range of products, our customers and partners can test their materials under realistic conditions. Apart from that, they can make reliable predictions with regard to the service life and load limits when their products are exposed to dynamic, tribological loads. Taking into account the fact that simulations of tribological systems in calculation programmes are gaining in importance, our results serve as a data pool that provides the simulation software with realistic parameters relating to friction and wear.
