PIN ON DISK TEST MACHINE• Performs Tests under Sliding Wear Conditions • Used for Materials, Coatings and Fluids • Simple, Quick and Easy Test Methods • Measures Wear, and Friction • Versatile Test Conditions • Meets ASTM G99 Originally designed and developed by the NASA Lewis Research Center. an electronic force gauge for measuring the friction force. and user-defined test parameters. turn count. Wear is quantified by measuring the wear groove with a profilometer and measuring the amount of material removed. Since pins can be fabricated from a wide range of materials virtually any combination of metal. or storing data for analysis. PC-Stripchart can be used to calculate the average over a specified period of time and then display or print the result. composite. glass. Rotating the turntable while applying this force to the pin includes sliding wear as well as a friction force. ASTM G99-95a. a fixture which accommodates disks up to 2.) . Designed for unattended use. ASTM Specification G 99 . or ceramic substrates can be tested. The principle areas of experimental attention in using this type of apparatus to measure wear are described. Included with the Falex ISC-200PC is a weight set capable of applying contacts stresses up to 2 GPa. The Falex ISC-200PC operates much like a conventional record player. The cup-like enclosed fixture permits the use of liquid lubricants during a wear test. Software included with the ISC-200PC provides for quick calculation of the Hertzian pressure between the pin and disk. linear velocity. and any other desired test variables such as friction limit and number of rotation. plastic. reliable system operation meeting even the most demanding wear test requirements. The motor driven turntable produces up to 180 rpm. A pre-determined Hertzian pressure is automatically applied to the pin using a system of weights. The coefficient of friction can also be determined. the unit’s precision components and solid state circuitry ensure accurate. Data can be viewed as it is recorded or accumulated over an extended period of time and later retrieved for display or printing. the load.FALEX PIN ON DISK TEST MACHINE The Falex ISC-200PC Tribometer uses a pin-on-disk system to measure wear. PC-Stripchart features a data compression capability which allows many hours of data to be condensed and displayed on a single screen or printed on a single sheet of paper. printing. Users simply specify the turntable speed. The unit consists of a gimbaled arm to which the pin is attached.75” in diameter. a user need only place the test material into turntable’s fixture and specify the test variables. and a unique computer chart recorder for displaying. To smooth dat. Materials are tested in pairs under nominally non-abrasive conditions.“Standard Test Method for Wear Testing with a Pin-on-Disk Apparatus” Scope: A laboratory test procedure for determining the wear of materials during sliding using a pinon-disk apparatus. This data can be stored and printed along with the friction traces. PC-Stripchart also displays the test time. (Ref. DATA ACQUISITION The friction coefficient signal is displayed in real time on a color monitor using Falex’s PCStripchart.
