PCS MINI TRACTION MACHINE
This test machine is a bench top, computer controlled, precision traction measurement instrument which provides fully automated traction mapping of lubricants and other fluids.
More info from manufacturerStandards and methods
The MTM2 has been successfully used to assess the scuffing resistance of different oils. Both the friction coefficient and film thickness are measured against increasing load at high sliding speed. As the load increases, the friction initially drops and then rises significantly as the film collapses.
