Surface Performance Testing Machine

The Surface Performance Testing Machine is a multifunctional tribological testing instrument designed to evaluate friction, wear, scratch resistance, and related surface properties of various materials. By applying controlled linear motion under defined loads, the system enables precise measurement of friction force, wear behavior, and surface performance under dry, lubricated, heated, or cooled conditions. It is suitable for comprehensive surface performance evaluation in both laboratory research and industrial quality control.
