Tribological database
Since 1978, we have been performing tribological experiments whose results are published in a database that enables quick access. Most of our test devices are directly linked to this database. As of 2005, we had accumulated 8,000 data records from friction and wear investigations. This database is the most important and effective tool in the services that we offer. An experienced tribologist can access this database to transfer the model results to a practical application.

Time required for a tribological investigation and evaluation:

one to two working days

Costs:

About €750 for an investigation with five "hits"
