The Ducom Wear and Friction Monitor (Pin/Ball on Disk Tester) records friction and wear in sliding contact in dry, lubricated, controlled environment and vacuum conditions.

• Fundamental wear studies, wear mapping and PV diagrams
• Testing of metals, ceramics, soft and hard coatings, plastics, polymers, composites
• Lubricants and cutting fluids

The Ducom Wear and Friction Monitor – TR 20 Series has become the industry standard in wear and friction analysis. The TR 20 Series tribometer is specifically designed for fundamental wear and friction characterization. This instrument consists of a rotating Disk against which a test pin is pressed with a known force. A provision for measurement of compound wear and frictional force is provided.

The Ducom TR 20 Series along with select options provide researchers with very wide test capabilities. Options for lubrication recirculation, environment chamber, pin temperature measurement, elevated temperature tests, and low temperature tests, tests in corrosive environments and vacuum tests are available. (please consult Ducom for details)

The TR 20 Series comes with the WinDucom software for data acquisition and display of results. The WinDucom instrumentation and Data Acquisition permits users, the measurement of:

• RPM
• Wear
• Frictional force
• Temperature (optional)

Using the WinDucom Data Acquisition System, a PC acquires test data online and displays it in several ways. Graphs of individual tests can be printed. Results of different tests can be ® ® superimposed using the WinDucom CompariView feature for comparative viewing of results. Data can be exported to other software.
