Friction Assessment & Screening Test Machine
Model 100 FAST Machine

System Features
  • Standardized friction test
  • Constant friction or constant clamping force operation
  • Evaluation of friction material alone, ignoring effects of other hardware
  • ProLink™ software for customized report generation

The Model 100 Friction Assessment and Screening Test (FAST) Machine provides a sensitive and reproducible characterization test for friction material specimens. Design simplicity makes the FAST Machine a viable friction and wear tester for brake lining and clutch facing test specimens.

The machine operates in either constant clamping force or constant friction force modes, using a constant rubbing speed. The constant friction force mode also provides a reproducible temperature-time history for the sample. Several standard test procedures have been developed for this machine. These include tests for the quality assurance of drum brake segments, disc brake pads, truck brake blocks, and clutch facings. Other tests include friction versus load, cyclic loading, static friction, residual drag, and squeal threshold tests.

The ProLink software package greatly enhances operator interface, provides test data quickly, and automates friction data recording.
