Endurance and Mechanical Testing

We engineer mechanical testing systems to enable advanced material development, product-design validation and manufacturing quality assurance — from nano-scratch and tribology to fatigue rigs and universal load frames up to 2,000 kN.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

What does a tribometer measure?

A tribometer such as the Rtec MFT series measures friction and wear between surfaces. Rtec platforms also support indentation and scratch testing for coating and surface characterization.

What endurance and mechanical testing systems do you offer?

Resonance test rigs, servoelectric, servohydraulic and servopneumatic endurance systems, and LE series universal testing machines with load frames up to 2,000 kN.

Who uses mechanical testing systems?

Material developers, product-design validation teams and manufacturing quality assurance — for example in automotive, electronics and materials research.
