The Falex Block-on-Ring test machine dependably evaluates the friction and wear characteristics of materials and various coatings and lubricants in a multitude of simulated test conditions. This versatile, easy-to-use machine was developed for specific use by the Falex Corporation and is widely used today in research, quality control and technical service operations. It gives the user control over the load, speed, and environment of the test, and allows remarkably efficient download of the data into Excel spreadsheets with the Falex 330 SoftWEAR™.
