More About Us

Tribometers for Your Efficiency and Sustainability Goals

Friction and wear remain serious hurdles for modern mechanical engineering. Unsuitable lubrication or poorly matched material pairings not only lead to increased energy consumption, but also to premature component or even system failure. This results in unnecessary costs and an unnecessary burden on our environment. Our tribometers enable you to tackle these problems in a targeted manner and optimise your systems in a goal-oriented way.

Our devices are flexibly customisable and cover a wide range of test conditions, from extreme temperatures to different movement modes. This allows you to simulate realistic operating conditions and make well-founded decisions for your applications.

With our tribometers, you not only contribute to increasing the efficiency of your systems, but also to sustainability - a decisive factor in today's industry.

Our Blog - Insights Into Our Control Cabinets

For us, tribology is a key topic for technical reliability - our blog is designed to make this knowledge a little more accessible. Here we would like to give you an insight into our everyday work, share tribological content with you, present new research findings and provide practical insights into testing technologies, materials and developments.

The basics of friction and wear mechanisms, application notes on testing methods and insights into current projects - our blog is aimed at anyone who wants to understand and deepen their knowledge of tribological relationships. In this way, we promote the exchange between research and industry and strengthen the common understanding of tribological systems.
