Mechanical Testing
Tribological test, E-mobility, in-situ testing with analysis
Classical tribological test
ISPA currently offers more than 50 different types of tests to examine the friction and wear behaviour of materials, coatings and / or lubricants. Especially with the development of the past few years in the E-mobility, ISPA offers fatigue and friction tests for the key components in the electric cars.
Test scopes include:
· Mechanical test for material/lubricant screening
· Four ball test: DIN 51350, ASTM D 2266, 4172, 5183, 2596
· Abrasive wear test
· Two-disc test
· Mechanical dynamic component test
· Gear test
· Bearing test: radial, axial, radial and axial
· False Brinelling test
· FE8
· FE9
Nanometer resolution in-situ measurement
Among various kinds of commercial available in-line material property testing instruments, UST® is by far the only tester which close the gap between the traditional macro-mechanical testing machines and nanoscale machines, e.g. nano-indentator and AFMs.
