Key Takeaways
· Friction and wear Tester selection shall match contact types (point, line, plane), Testing media environments, temperature ranges and international inspection standards.
· Equipped with an integrated industrial control configuration system, the KASON-MMW-1 supports three mainstream friction pairs: pin-on-disc, thrust ring, and ball-on-disc, fully complying with ASTM D2266, ASTM D3702, ASTM D4172.
· Total cost of ownership covers the main unit, full set of friction pair fixtures, heating system, software license, later consumables and maintenance fees; quotation comparison cannot rely merely on bare machine prices.
· The Tester supports high-temperature simulation and testing with multiple media including oil, water, slurry and abrasives, featuring high automation to minimize manual operation errors.
· Full closed-loop control over load, friction torque, spindle speed, temperature and test duration; the system automatically calculates and exports friction coefficient, wear loss, PV value and other test data along with real-time curves.
· Global localized after-sales service and fast spare parts supply effectively reduce equipment downtime caused by failure.

Diverse Interchangeable Friction Pair Configurations
The machine supports three mainstream replaceable friction pairs to cover most laboratory friction wear test demands:
1. Pin-on-Disc Friction Pair (Single-pin / Three-pin) Includes small test ring, large test ring, sample pin and pin chuck; complete calculation formulas for friction coefficient, contact speed and wear contact area are built into the software. Corresponding conversion tables of axial wear, wear angle and contact diameter are provided for metric and imperial units.
2. Thrust Ring Friction Pair Equipped with small/large thrust ring test plates, cylindrical pins and locking fixtures; the system automatically calculates contact pressure, test linear velocity, PV value and wear factor.
3. Ball-on-Disc Friction Pair (Single-ball / Three-ball) Matched with φ12.7 standard steel balls and dedicated ball fixture; the software supports automatic calculation of Hertz maximum contact stress under single-ball and three-ball test conditions.
