Description : Nanotribometer is one of the most important tools for evaluation of nano-tribological properties (nano-wear and nano-scratch) of bulk materials, thin films, melt spun ribbions and conventional materials of metallic and non-metallic compositions. The system is capable of measuring nanotribological parameters from linear reciprocating tests and rotational tests. Test should be possible with pins and balls of miniature dimensions, with loads and displacements measured in the relevant range with nano-to micro- resolution. For linear reciprocating module stroke length is upto 75 mm and for rotation module the speed varies from 10 to 1000rpm, clockwise, counter clockwise, cyclic and gyratic motions. The test types are Ball-on-test specimen or Pin-on-test specimen. The force measurement range is 50m to 0.5 N with force measurement resolution is 10mN. The wear deapth can be measured upto 200m measurable wear with linear resolution 25 nm and for 2mm or more measurable wear the linear resolutio
