Description Feature Standard Test Methods Technical Data

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.

»»Provides controlled load and temperature

»»Programmable user-defined and standard test load programs

»»Programmable loads and temperature for automatic maintenance of test loads

»»Integrated computer touchscreen

Load

Load is applied to the vee blocks against a rotating test pin by use of a ratchet wheel mechanism and a digital load cell. The Falex Dual Range Load Gage applies from 200 to 3000 lbs direct load (4500 lbs reference load) ±2% full scale accuracy, up to 300 psi average initial Hertzian stress.

Speed

Shaft speed: 290 rpm ±10 rpm (18.98 ft/min)

Wear

Ratchet wheel system allows rate of wear measurement during test and total wear. 14.4 ratchet teeth = 0.001 inch (0.025 mm)

Torque

0 to 100 in-lb load cell with digital display. Accuracy ± 2% full scale
