Tribometers are devices used to test the friction, wear, and lubrication of materials. Various tribometers exist, including linear testers, four-ball systems, and those designed for low or high-pressure testing.
Tribometer tests have applications in fields like performance testing of sandpaper, rubber selection for conveyors, metal selection for machinery, and more. Accurate testing under conditions resembling actual usage is crucial due to the variable nature of friction and wear test results.
