Performance tribology

Performance tribology is the study of how surfaces interact under real-world operating conditions, focusing on minimizing friction, wear, and energy loss in machinery. It helps engineers understand how lubricants, surface textures, and materials influence equipment efficiency and lifespan. By analyzing these interactions, performance tribology aims to optimize systems like engines, gears, and bearings, ensuring they run smoothly, reliably, and efficiently over time. Essentially, it’s about improving how moving parts slide and contact each other to achieve better performance and durability.
