Lubricant Tester

Product Details:

There is a growing trend towards the use of modified surfaces for improved performance and life of components. Modifications are invariably in the form of coatings on the base material. They are deposited by electroplating, vapor phase deposition, diffusion, thermal spray or welding. Coatings need to be characterized for parameters like scratch resistance, critical load, adhesion and nature of damage under high stress. The Scratch Tester facilitates these measurements over a wide range of parameters.

Applications:

• Critical load of hard and brittle coatings like titanium nitride, ceramics
• Determination of working load limit of soft coatings like PTFE and other polymers.
• Identification of process parameters of heat treatment for best scratch resistance
• Estimation of bond strength at substrate – coating interface
• Product development and quality control of surface engineered products

This equipment records torque requirement of tapping operation in a pre-drilled sample. Tests are performed with metalworking fluids under evaluation in identical conditions. Data generated over several tests can be viewed together to compare performance.

Features:

• Precision aligned sample to the rotational axis.
• Torque cell measures instantaneous cutting torque
• Online measurement and recording of torque, RPM, angle of rotation and duration
• Over torque protection
• Easy calibration at site with special fixture

Product Details:

This testing method indicates the tendency of various greases to offer resistance to the rotation of bearing at a low temperature below zero degrees Celsius. These specifications are used mainly with aviation applications and for equipment which works in the subzero environment.

Features:

• Online measurements of torque and temperature.
• PID controlled test temperature.
• Software to record and display of data on your PC

Product Details:

To evaluate the shear stability of polymer-containing oils in terms of the permanent viscosity loss when a sample is mechanically stressed. The test fluid is mechanically stressed by pumping through a nozzle and a diesel injection fuel pump. Samples are taken after the fluid has completed a pre-determined number of passes. Viscosities of the original sample and of the sample taken during the test are determined. The extent of oil degradation of shear forces can be calculated.

Features:

• Friction-free operation
• Breakage free
• Available in different size

The Reichert Tester is an excellent tool for lubricant and additive manufacturers to evaluate the wear preventive (WP) and extreme pressure (EP) properties of their samples. This test was developed as a quick method to identify the formation of a lubricating film between two test surfaces. The Reichert Tester uses a drop in noise level (screeching) to identify when a lubricating film is successfully formed between the test surfaces.

Features:

• High speed
• High efficiency
• Cost effective
