Why Dual Roller Tribometer?

Rolling-contact fatigue (RCF) is defined as a failure or material removal caused by the surface alternating stress field. The failures are typically driven by crack propagation. The extent of failure or the  mechanism depends on a number of factors. For example, lubricant cleanliness, material quality, and roughness. With advent of high speed trains, EV vehicles, and turbines, rolling contact fatigue testing has become very important to prevent the failure of components.

Many Configurations Are Possible

Rtec Instruments’ Twin Roller Tribometer comes in several application specific configurations.

Rollers Under Load
Wider range of roller diameters can be accomodated on the same platform.

Test Data

Data shows coefficient of friction results from rolling contact fatigue setup. The surface treatments were done on one sample. Data shows which improvement in RCF life after the thermal spray coating application.
