tribometers

Tribometers are specialized machines used to measure how two surfaces interact when they slide against each other, focusing on friction, wear, and lubrication. By simulating real-world contact scenarios, they help determine how materials will perform under moving conditions—like how a car tire wears on the road or a machine part's durability. They provide valuable data for designing longer-lasting, more efficient, and safer materials and components, ensuring that surfaces will behave predictably in practical applications.
