Abstract

Tribological studies, crucial in understanding the complex interactions between surfaces in relative motion, necessitate the use of diverse tribometers to explore a wide range of materials and operational conditions. This research paper provides an extensive review of different types of tribometers, aiming to elucidate their respective strengths, limitations, and applications in the realm of friction and wear analysis. The research not only aids in demystifying the intricacies of tribometry but also serves as a guide for researchers and engineers seeking to choose an appropriate tribometer for specific experimental objectives. By understanding the nuances of each tribometer type, researchers can make informed decisions to optimize experimental setups.
