The
pin-on-disk machine is one of the most common types of laboratory friction and
wear testers. Our tribology laboratory has three custom-designed test units that
are available for use by our guest researchers. Our standard 'pin' specimen is a
fixed bearing ball which slides on its tip in a circular track on a disk
specimen. Other tips of pin specimens can be tested as well. Our machines have
controlled atmosphere capabilities to facilitate special types of
environmental-effects studies.
