Tribometers are used for characterisation of the friction and wear behaviour of materials and provide the basis for tribological oriented material and lubricant development as well as quality control.

The control of friction and wear in moving machine parts is a critical issue facing all manufacturers. It can be crucial to have quantitative data obtained at varying humidity and temperature and in the presence of lubricants.

The High Vacuum Tribometer has been designed to provide controlled vacuum conditions (down to 10^-7 mbar) or gaseous environments. Vacotec builds in close cooperation with CSM Instruments the highly efficient vacuum control system which allows the user to reach the desired atmospheric condition very fast but in controlled way.
