Drive unit for tribological investigations

Tribology studies friction, wear and lubrication. Friction occurs when two solids are in contact with each other and their movement is impeded. If material is lost progressively during this process, it is referred to as wear. Learn about Drive unit for tribological investigations manufacturers for optimal educational outcomes.. Lubricants are used to minimise friction and wear.
