High-Speed Tester for Dynamic Friction and Wear Analysis
The HSLT (High Speed Load Tester) from Optimol Instruments is designed for tribological testing under highly dynamic conditions. The system is capable of generating both high sliding speeds and variable load cycles—ideal for simulating real-world stress scenarios such as those found in engines, transmissions, or other heavily loaded components.
The test rig enables oscillating relative motion between two specimens, with precise control over normal force, speed, frequency, temperature, and lubrication. This allows for in-depth analysis of friction and wear processes under application-oriented conditions.
Key Features of the HSLT from Optimol Instruments:
-
Dynamic Test Conditions: High frequencies and sliding speeds allow realistic simulation even under rapidly changing loads.
-
Wide Testing Range: Well-suited for evaluating tribological systems in combustion engines, turbochargers, clutches, and other high-performance applications.
-
Flexible Parameter Control: Normal force, speed, temperature, and lubricant condition can all be individually configured.
-
Reliable Data Acquisition: Friction coefficient, wear rate, and thermal influences are recorded and documented with precision.
-
Advanced Evaluation Capabilities: Enables comprehensive analysis of physical, mechanical, and thermal effects for deep system insights.
The HSLT is ideally suited for research and development, quality assurance, and the testing of lubricants and materials under extreme operating conditions.
