Optimol Instruments

Smart solutions for friction and wear challenges

Our industries

  • mobility

    Engines and components are exposed to extreme conditions. Potential for optimization to ensure that propulsion is not lost in friction loss can be found here.

  • Lubricant

    Lubricants and tribology inevitably belong together. It is not without reason that our roots and concentrated know-how are here.

  • energy

    Increasing efficiency and extending operating times are ways to improve efficiency in energy generation. Measures to reduce friction and wear make a significant contribution to this.

  • Drive technology

    The generation of motion by means of force transmission presents the full range of tribological challenges. We meet them with our solutions.

  • Aerospace

    Tribology of materials and coatings under extreme environmental conditions such as high/low temperature, corrosive gases, pressure or vacuum is our specialty and passion.

  • Chemical industry

    The focus is on the performance assessment of product formulations or their components such as additives and base oils. Aspects include material compatibility, adhesion, friction and wear protection behavior.
