The TR 602 consists of a mechanical system that permits testing of journal bearings at a variety of loads and speeds. This instrument uses a pneumatic loading system to apply a radial load on the test bearings. Users may choose from a variety of loading options like constant load mode, ramped load mode, stepped load mode and a sinusoidal load mode.
In addition to unidirectional rotations, the Ducom TR 602 also has the capability to run the journal bearing in an oscillatory mode. A safety system in this instrument provides for both user and machine safety.
User may control the load, speed and duration of the test. The TR 602 comes with the WinDucom software for data acquisition and display of results. The system has facilities to measure and record test load, frictional torque and RPM. WinDucom software is used to present data in a variety of ways and CompariView provides a powerful tool to view and compare test results for evaluation.
