Instrumented Indentation (IIT)Hardness and Elastic Modulus Our Instrumented Indenter Testers are high-precision instruments that measure the mechanical properties of thin films, coatings, or any bulk materials. Hardness, elastic modulus, creep, and fatigue can be determined on almost any material, from soft to hard and fragile to brittle. Using the latest actuation (piezo) and sensing technologies (capacitive sensors), the SMT quantifies the properties of surfaces from nano to micro ranges. Instrumented Indentation Testing (IIT) involves pressing an indenter of known geometry into a surface while...

Precision At Best Superlubricity Mini Traction Machine The mini traction module measures the frictional properties of lubricated contacts under a wide range of sliding rolling ratios. Friction change vs. load, speed, and temperature reflect several fundamental properties valuable for assessing and comparing lubricants, greases, liquids, materials, etc. The module can operate at a high sliding-to-rolling ratio using two independently controlled closed-loop servo drives. A wide speed range from -6 to 6 m/s allows for covering the entire lubrication regime. Standard configuration typically involves...

Software The tester comes with powerful operation, statistical, and image analysis software. All software is Windows-based and is very easy to learn and operate. The software runs the tool in advanced mode for experienced users or simple mode for new users or operators. The data can be saved in a proprietary format or ASCII format. Automatic Image, Tribology Data Correlation 4-Ball data Recipe Driven Each test can be controlled by a series of command blocks forming a protocol or “recipe.” The recipes are Torque, friction, acoustic emission, and applied force are recorded and displayed in real-time....
