The MPT-3000 micropitting rig studies traction, wear, and rolling contact fatigue (RCF) by three-point roller contact that produces micro and macro pitting under various conditions. With more than a million contact cycles per hour, the three-disc rolling machine’s in-line torque and controlled acoustic allow quantifying minute differences.
Main Features:
Load up to 5000 N
Real-time force and speed control
Run millions of cycles in a short period of time
Lubricant temperatures up to 150 °C
Standard torque range up to 60 Nm
SRR (slide–roll ratio) 0 to +/- 200%
Center pin 4 m/s, outside three rollers 18m/s
Why the Triple Disc Machine? Three-disc rolling instruments are designed to assess and evaluate the resistance of materials or coatings to various types of wear. These types of wear include rolling contact fatigue (RCF), pitting, and micro-pitting. By simulating real-life conditions using different rolling or sliding combinations, contact pressures, and lubrication regimes, researchers and product developers explore and understand the behavior of materials, coatings, and lubricants under different operating conditions.
Rtec-Instruments’ MPT-3000 Micropitting Tester is an ideal triple roller contact machine for studying traction, wear, and rolling contact fatigue under various combinations of rolling sliding ratios. The open platform architecture allows for easy access to the samples and setup. In addition, the fully automated and advanced controllers allow for high repeatability and precision measurements with the broadest test range in load, temperature, and speed.
