Rtec SRV Tester FFT-1: Industry-Leading Tribology & Friction Analysis

The Rtec Instruments FFT-1 SRV Tester is a state-of-the-art, high-performance tribology system engineered to analyze surface damage, friction, and wear properties under high-frequency linear reciprocating motion. Globally recognized as the industry standard for evaluating lubricants, greases, additives, and solid bonded films, the FFT-1 distinguishes itself by replacing outdated dead-weight mechanics with highly precise, fully automated, closed-loop force and stroke controllers.

As the authorized distributor for Rtec Instruments in Singapore, LMS Technologies Pte Ltd provides this advanced fretting and SRV testing platform to local automotive research facilities, petrochemical laboratories, and advanced materials centers. We support your success with comprehensive local application consulting, servicing, and standards-compliant calibration.

Key Functions & Innovative Features

  • Frictionless Magnetic Flexure Design: The FFT-1 utilizes a cutting-edge flexure-based design that guides the magnet assembly without contact, rolling elements, or mechanical bearings. This eliminates internal drive friction and prevents mechanical performance degradation, ensuring consistent data even during ultra-long test durations.
  • Advanced Voice Coil Actuation: Leveraging powerful electromagnetic voice coil actuators, the system delivers stable linear reciprocating motion with unmatched waveform control. The system automatically corrects for real-time contact changes to maintain perfectly accurate stroke profiles.
  • Dynamic Closed-Loop Downforce Control: Eliminate the limitations of dead weights with a fully programmable electro-servo force drive capable of applying loads up to 3000 N. Users can configure constant, linear, or customized step-force profiles—down to gram-force ranges—with real-time automatic wear correction.
  • Traceable Piezo Friction Measurement: Built with high-frequency, ultra-sensitive piezo-based force sensors and low-noise amplifiers, the FFT-1 allows for the instantaneous capture of rapid friction adjustments and quantitative measurement of complex fretting loops.
  • Comprehensive Environmental Control: Our robust environmental chambers establish precise testing climates, ranging from extreme cryogenic cold at -40°C to high-temperature testing up to 800°C. Integrated automated humidity chambers further enhance your ability to simulate real-world service conditions.
  • In-Line Diagnostic Modules: The platform supports specialized tracking sensors, including Acoustic Emission (AE) for micro-crack detection, Electrical Contact Resistance (ECR) for surface protective film mapping, and Potentiostat integration for advanced tribo-corrosion studies.

Extensive Global Standards Compliance

The Rtec FFT-1 SRV tester features automated, built-in test recipes that generate traceable data conforming to the most rigorous international standards:
  • ASTM D5706: Extreme pressure properties of lubricating greases.
  • ASTM D5707: Friction and wear properties of lubricating grease.
  • ASTM D6425 / DIN 51834-2: Friction and wear properties of EP lubricating oils.
  • ASTM D7217: Extreme pressure properties of solid bonded films.
  • ISO 19291: Tribological quantities for oils and greases in translatory oscillation.
