Rolling Contact Fatigue Tester is a specialized testing system designed to investigate traction, wear, and rolling contact fatigue under controlled rolling and sliding conditions. The tester evaluates material behavior under alternating surface stress fields that lead to crack initiation and material removal. Featuring an open-platform architecture, dual independently controlled high-torque servo motors, and servo-driven loading, the system delivers high repeatability and precise measurement for rolling contact fatigue studies in lubricant, automotive, railway, and aerospace applications.
Application
