High Vacuum Tribometer (down to 10-7 mbar)

The High Vacuum Tribometer has been designed to provide controlled vacuum conditions (down to 10e -7 mbar) or gaseous environments. The highly efficient vacuum control system allows the user to reach the desired atmospheric condition very fast but in a controlled way.

CSM Instruments Tribometers have proven their reliability worldwide in over 100 laboratories, for studying:

High vacuum environment down to 10e -7 mbar 
New materials (ceramics, metals, polymers)
Self-lubricating systems
Quality assurance.
