Tribometer Chamber

Module for study of tribological properties between two surfaces in UHV or ambient pressure conditions.

• Applied load from 1 to 10N
• Friction measurements from 0.001 to 2
• Closed loop control of applied load

Tribometer chamber features:

• 2 axes manipulator (with heating) for ball sample holders (up to 1/2")
• 1 axis manipulator (with heating and cooling) for flat sample holders
• pressure range from 10-9 mbar up to 1 bar
• prepared to work with e.g. oxygen, hydrogen, water vapor, simple hydrocarbons and others
• modular design allows for connecting deposition modules (MBE, PLD, sputtering) or analysis modules (XPS, UPS, ARPES, IR etc.)
