| Zusammenfassung: | The present invention relates, in part, to systems for characterizing force (e.g., friction, and wear). In one embodiment, a tribometer allows for wear testing of samples in a high throughput manner. A counterface is used to apply force on the surface of the sample. A carousel provides for the rapid exchange of new for old counterfaces in the tribometer test head, thereby enabling the use of a new counterface for each new wear test without the need for operator interaction. |
