Benchtop Thrust Washer Tester


Test load is directly controlled through a software based close loop servo pneumatic system, which enables precise control over load application. The pneumatic loading method allows the user to have a better control over the test load and application method, unlike conventional dead weight method of loading. User will have better control over the choice of load and test speed which enhances the productivity of the test.

  • Conforms to the specifications of ASTM D3702
  • Integrated industrial grade PC with Data Acquisition Software: On line Data Acquisition of Frictional Torque, Temperature, Normal load & Co-efficient of friction, drive torque.
  • Integrated 15 inch multi-touch control panel
  • Predefined standard test protocol and user defined test customization options
  • Accurate Speed control through AC servo motor.
  • Integrated temperature control module
  • Dynamic closed loop speed control
  • Integrated pneumatic loading system up to 400 kg
  • Dynamic load control system
  • Robust structure design
  • Safety interlocks for speed, temperature, load and friction force
  • USB 3.0 port for data transfer

The K93692/K93693 Automated Thrust Washer Tester is used to determine the equilibrium rate of wear and coefficient of friction of materials in rubbing contact under useful operating conditions, that is, combinations of pressure and velocity that utilizes a thrust washer specimen configuration as per ASTM D3702. 

Test load is directly controlled through a software based close loop servo pneumatic system, which enables precise control over load application. The pneumatic loading method allows the user to have a better control over the test load and application method, unlike conventional dead weight method of loading. User will have better control over the choice of load and test speed which enhances the productivity of the test. As per ASTM standards, the upper specimen is rotated up to 2000 RPM. An axial force up to 400 kg can be applied through servo pneumatic close loop loading mechanism. Friction force between the rotating specimen & the stationary disc is measured though a digital load cell mounted in precise location, and all the process variables like temperature, Normal load, Frictional force, Co-efficient of friction & RPM are measured and acquired through an Online Data acquisition software through an integrated PC.
