Tribosystems

Tribosystems are the elements in a machine or device that involve contact and interaction between moving surfaces. They include parts like bearings, gears, and sliding contacts, where friction, wear, and lubrication are critical to performance. Understanding tribosystems is essential for designing durable, efficient machinery, as they influence how components move, how long they last, and how smoothly they operate. Essentially, they focus on managing the interactions at surfaces in motion to reduce damage and maximize functionality.
