Research Services

realisation of tribological R&D services for the description of materials and component interactions in the framework of customer orders or long-term cooperation in (inter-)national research projects

Methods & Expertise for Research Infrastructure

determination of the permeability of porous components with disc-like or cylindrical form (medium: air); the air is pressed with different pressure by the porous structure of the test specimen (e.g. bearing bush, friction pads) to characterize the open porosity; furthermore, the force-dependent thickness decrease of compressible specimens is determined; the automated measuring sequence allows a high number of measuring points
