An Improvement on Traction Measurement System

Abstract

In our previous traction measurement system of the ball-disc Elastohydrodynamic Lubrication (EHL) test, the transfer of friction force during measurement was complicated and there existed some error, in the meanwhile the system can only test the single direction friction torque. In order to solve these problem, a new sensor component was specially designed and configured with a new-style sensor, then the more accurate measurement results were obtained.
