About Pin On Disc Test Rig
Pin on disc friction/wear study involves a sharp pin, ball, or cone tip to wear against the disc surface. Usually, a constant normal load is applied from the pin towards the contact interface, using a weight set. A lateral force sensor is installed to measure the friction force. During the test, a wear track is gradually made on the disc surface due to the material's loss from friction. This is measured with the help of a gauge, or alternatively, a wear sensor can be used.
Rig follows ASTM Test Standard and is suitable for Laboratory use in industrial; academic as well as research purposes.
