A new portable, space-saving bench system has been designed for accurate measurement of friction pressure in slick water ...

A bright orange truck made a few passes along Munger Shaw Road on Friday. It’s called SCRIM, and it’s a road survey machine that tests friction of pavement and surfaces. SCRIM stands for Sideway force ...

In automatic transmissions a smooth clutch operation is related to the velocity dependence of the coefficient of friction (COF). Although JASO M348 and other full-scale clutch tests, or other ...

The functional lifetime of a wet clutch can be characterized using wear characteristics such as velocity dependence of the coefficient of friction (COF) and friction curves. Current market trends ...

Friction and wear pose enormous challenges to 21st Century mechanical and electromechanical systems. By one estimate, 6% of the gross national product is wasted through its impact. Tribology is the ...

FOOTHILL RANCH, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--A new test service introduced by Bal Seal Engineering, Inc. offers verified performance results for Bal Seal ® low-friction spring-energized seals used in ...

In this webinar, we cover the motivation and method of a bench-top screening test for the friction characteristics of wet clutch materials and automatic transmission fluids (ATFs). A critical ...
