Detailed Description
With its exceptional modularity, within minutes this platform can be transformed from rotary to reciprocating motion, from sub-newton to kilo-newton force measurement, or from room temperature up to 1000°C for environmental testing. Other features, such as tool-less drive changeover and patented chip identification functionality for all electrical components, make this equipment simple and efficient.
Uses/Applications
The main application is for tribocorrosion research such as metal implants performance and new alloys for implants.
