The Falex Pin & Vee Block machine allows you to evaluate friction, wear
and EP (extreme pressure) properties of lubricants and materials.
It is ideally suited for testing materials, dry film bonded lubricant coatings,
surface hardening coatings, fluid lubricants and additive packages.
Some of the options available include:
• pressurized vessel testing (useful for refrigeration lubricants or
alternative atmospheres)
• low load
• computerized control and data acquisition
• pins and vees are available in a wide variety of materials.
Applicable methods include: |
• ASTM D2625
Endurance (Wear) Life and Load-Carrying Capacity of Solid Film Lubricants
(Falex Pin and Vee Method)
• ASTM D2670
