Why Choose the Rtec MFT-5000?
- Patented In-line 3D Profilometry: The MFT-5000 stands alone in integrating an optical 3D profilometer. This allows users to measure surface topography changes—such as wear track depth and volume—over time at sub-nanometer resolution without removing the sample from the tester.
- Extreme Environmental Flexibility: Simulate harsh real-world conditions with testing chambers supporting temperatures from -120°C up to 1200°C, controlled humidity, vacuum environments, and liquid/lubricant immersion.
- Unmatched Platform Versatility: Eliminate the need for multiple single-purpose machines. A single MFT-5000 base platform supports rotary, reciprocating, block-on-ring, scratch, and fretting tests through easily interchangeable modules.
- Superior Force & Load Range: Equipped with highly sensitive, capacitive load cells that cover forces from the milli-Newton (mN) range up to a massive 12,000 N, all featuring negligible thermal drift for flawless data integrity.
