CETR-UMT-3 High Load, Heavy Duty Tribometer

The World's Most Widely-Used Tribometer

Bruker's CETR-UMT-3 single-platform, multiple-configuration fully-computerized, high load tribometer of the unique acclaimed modular design can perform practically all common tribological tests done by traditional industries such as petroleum, aerospace, automobile, engines, bearings, fasteners, etc. Its robustness has made it the widely used tribometer in the world. It can perform tests per numerous ASTM standards on the same tool. Some of the commonly done test setups on CETR-UMT-3 are four balls, variable rolling to sliding, bearings, block on ring, nut-in-screw, pin on disk, etc.

Four Types of Drive Modules

  • Lower linear fast reciprocation with upper linear motion
  • Lower high-precision linear with upper linear motion
  • Lower rotation (vertical axis) with upper linear or rotary motion
  • Lower rotation (horizontal axis) with upper linear or rotary motion
  • All motion modules are easily swapped in minutes

Technical Highlights

  • Perform an automated synchronized control of several specimen motions with linear speeds from 0.1 micron/s to 30 m/s and angular speeds ranging from 0.001 to 7,000 rpm
  • Load up to 2,000 N with temperatures up to 1,000° C, chambers for vacuum, humidity, and gases
  • All motions independently programmable (for custom wear tracks)
  • Automatic coefficient of friction vs load/velocity curves generated (tribological finger print)
  • Static or dynamic lubrication using computer controlled pumps
  • Monitors and records in situ acoustic emission, electrical data, friction, wear, down force, temperature, humidity, etc.
  • ISO, ASTM and DIN compliant
