Optimization of tribological systems

If componetns or assemblies subjects to tribological loads do not funnction as expected, the lubrication can be optimized. Optimization involves steps both small and minute as details are improved. Sometimes if involves drastic changes such as altering the material or reconstructing the device.

Noise is suppressed by oil between the teeth. Different degrees of creep by lubricants.
Failed ball joint with plastic bearing shell. Miniature rotors made of amorphous material.
.

Optimization: One of our standard services. We are international experts with a broad base of experience in the fields of micromechanics and precision mechanics. Our tribological expertise can also help solve problems in upscale systems.

We specialize in the tribology of polymer materials with and without supporting lubricants.

We have saved thousands of test results in our tribological database and can access them immediately in a user-related ranking system to optimize customer systems.

Time required for optimization: A few days for systems involving simple bearings.
Two to eight weeks for standard technical cases that always involve laboratory tests.

Costs: According to time and expense
