Integrated test bench device to assess the frictional behavior of materials can simulate the abrasive wear of materials including those used for brake discs and the piston-cylinder arrangement. The tribo-tester finds relevance in its capability of characterizing friction and abrasive wear behaviour of advanced materials in dual sliding modes namely rotary and reciprocating sliding modes. The unique device can function in a wide range of operating parameters such as varying loads and speeds. It can also be used to simulate the extent of wear and tear that could be incurred by materials used for other machines including soil excavators, mechanized agricultural tools and drilling machines.
