Block on Ring & Pin on Disc Testing | ForceBoard™ Wear Tester Applications
ForceBoard™ Wear Tester is a versatile, multi-purpose wear testing system designed for evaluating friction and wear behavior across a wide range of materials, coatings, and components. By combining pin on disc and block on ring wear testing in a single compact platform, ForceBoard WearTester supports both standardized and exploratory wear testing under dry and lubricated conditions.
Its portable, desktop-friendly design makes it suitable for laboratory, R&D, quality control, and educational environments, while its ability to perform short-term and long-duration tests enables comprehensive wear analysis across multiple use cases.
