TIMKEN-4 Lubricating Oil Anti-Wear Tester

TIMKEN-4 Lubricating Oil Anti-Wear Tester

Timken

The TIMKEN-4 Lubricating Oil Anti-Wear Tester is designed to evaluate the anti-wear and extreme pressure performance of lubricating oils and lubricant additives. The instrument is based on the working principle of the Timken ring-block friction test, which is widely used to assess the load-carrying capacity of lubricants under severe contact pressure conditions.

Introduction

Lubricating oils possess multiple physical and chemical performance indicators such as oxidation stability, high-temperature shear stability, low-temperature flowability, mechanical stability, water resistance, rust protection, lubrication performance, and dispersancy. Among these parameters, anti-wear performance is one of the most critical indicators affecting equipment reliability and service life.

The TIMKEN-4 Lubricating Oil Anti-Wear Tester simulates sliding friction between a rotating friction ring and a loaded test block or steel ball. Through a lever-weight loading system, extremely high pressure is applied at the contact point, accelerating wear and allowing rapid evaluation of lubricant load-carrying capacity.

With its optimized mechanical structure, reinforced frame, and precision spindle design, the instrument ensures stable operation, minimal vibration, and reliable friction testing results. The tester is widely used in lubricant research, product comparison, additive development, and laboratory quality control.
