WTC-3E Vacuum Pin-on-Disk Friction Wear Tester
Product Introduction
WTC-3E Vacuum Pin-on-Disk Friction Wear Tester is a professional tribology testing instrument designed to evaluate the friction and wear performance of various materials, coatings, polymers, metals, and ceramic composite materials under vacuum or controlled atmosphere environments.
The instrument simulates different friction conditions by controlling load, rotation speed, and testing atmosphere, allowing researchers to analyze key tribological parameters including friction coefficient, friction force, wear resistance, and load behavior. All testing data and curves are displayed in real time, making it widely used in material research, surface treatment process development, failure analysis, reliability evaluation, and industrial quality control.

Performance Features
• Vacuum and controlled atmosphere testing capability
Supports friction and wear experiments under vacuum conditions or customized atmospheric environments, enabling accurate evaluation of material performance in special operating conditions.
• Professional pin-on-disk tribology test structure
Adopts a classic pin-on-disk testing method, suitable for comparative analysis of different materials and surface coatings.
• Real-time data acquisition and display
Automatically records and displays friction coefficient, friction force, applied load, and wear-related parameters through numerical data and graphical curves during testing.
• Automatic continuous loading system
Provides automatic continuous load application to improve testing stability and repeatability.
• Wide material compatibility
Suitable for metals, ceramics, polymers, coatings, composite materials, and other engineering materials.
• Adjustable testing parameters
Supports adjustment of rotation speed, load, and sliding position to meet different tribological research requirements.
• High precision friction measurement
Provides friction coefficient measurement accuracy of 0.2% FS for reliable test results.

Working Principle
The WTC-3E Vacuum Pin-on-Disk Friction Wear Tester uses a pin-on-disk contact mechanism to evaluate material friction and wear behavior.
During testing, the lower sample disk rotates at a preset speed while the upper pin or ball applies a controlled normal load onto the sample surface. The relative sliding motion generates friction force, which is continuously measured by the force sensor.
The system calculates the friction coefficient based on the relationship between friction force and applied load. Meanwhile, the testing software records friction curves and parameter changes in real time, allowing researchers to analyze wear resistance, surface performance, and material failure mechanisms.
