The Kett 94Ai Tribometer is the world's first and only handheld portable static friction analyzer. Battery operated, the unit is placed on the part to be tested. When the "start" button is pressed, a precision voice coil motor tries to push the test plate. Force is increased over time. When the test plate begins to move (overcoming static friction), the system calculates the reactive force and computes the coefficient of statuc friction us. Tests take less than thirty seconds. The integrated averaging function allows for rapid determination of the average coefficient of friction on the most heterogeneous materials. The flexible design allows for different measurement surfaces and contours to be attached, allowing simulation of most test surface interfaces. A three-year warranty is standard.
