It is possible to measure the friction characteristics depending on the existence form of the monolayer and the arrangement structure.
This product is an evaluation device that can measure the adhesion characteristics (meniscus) and friction characteristics of nano-lubricating films under ultra-light loads. Both adhesion force and friction force are measured with high resolution (resolution of 5 μN). In addition to measuring the adhesion and friction forces of lubricants for MEMS components, it can also be applied to the measurement of friction characteristics of biological joint lubricants, protein lubricants, and artificial joint cartilage materials, as well as the evaluation of adsorption/wear states. 【Features】 ■ Patent obtained: No. 3975450 Evaluation device for lubricating films, joint patent with Nagoya University ■ Capable of measuring the adhesion characteristics (meniscus) and friction characteristics of nano-lubricating films under ultra-light loads ■ Measurement of friction characteristics dependent on the presence form and arrangement structure of monomolecular films is possible ■ Both adhesion force and friction force are measured with high resolution (resolution of 5 μN) *For more details, please refer to the PDF document or feel free to contact us.
