Ziegler Instruments expand their Test Stand product offerings for the tribological investigation of material pairs with the release of their Stick-Slip Test Stand SSP-04.
Technical Areas of Application
Stick-Slip testing is widely used to determine the coefficient of friction for material pairs under typical operating conditions.
Major Automotive companies across the world have utilised Ziegler’s knowledge and equipment to reduce the risk of material mismatching which could lead to increased risk of Squeak and Rattle events
The standard VDA 230-206 measuring mode has established itself worldwide as the standard to investigate the behaviour of leather, artificial leather, fabrics, thermoplastics, coatings and metal.
Input parameters are normal force and relative velocity. The test can be performed in a temperature range of -40°C up to +85°C at humid, dry and wet humidity. An attached sensor captures the temperature and humidity.
Key-Features:
- Determines the coefficient of friction for material pairs under typical operating conditions.
- High relative velocity of 1 to 200 mm/s enables new applications like the
simulation of window regulators and sliding roofs. - Objective measurement of stick-slip phenomena
- Determination of a Risk-Priority-Number
- Prediction if material pairs are acceptable or unacceptable
- Suitable temperature range of -40°C to +85°C
- The standard VDA 230-206 measuring mode is worldwide accepted
- Investigation of wear and abrasion
