The versatile, Falex Pin and Vee Block Machine is used to evaluate wear, friction, and extreme pressure properties of lubricants, coatings, and materials in a multitude of applications. The latest model features an integrated touchscreen computer system for easy operation, calibration, data acquisition, and test reports. Custom test pieces are available from other materials to better match field conditions.
The equipment rotates a 1/4 inch diameter test pin (journal) against two 1/2 inch diameter vee blocks. A four-line contact region is established as load is applied through a mechanical gage by a ratchet wheel and an eccentric arm.
