MTM (Mini-Traction-Machine)

   

 

The Mini-Traction-Machine (MTM – PCS Instruments) – offers great screening test method for measuring friction and wear behaviour of lubricants in a mixed sliding-rolling contact. As a most versatile test rig,  MTM enables testing at any possible slide-roll ratio, at constant or variable speed.
