Ultra Thin Film
Measurement System
EHD2 Rig Overview The EHD2 Ultra Thin Film Measurement System is the latest evolution of the successful EHD instrument which to date has sold over 100 systems worldwide. It is now a fully automated computer controlled instrument for measuring the film thickness and traction coefficient (friction coefficient) of lubricants in the elastohydrodynamic (EHD) lubricating regime. The instrument can measure lubricant film thickness down to 1 nm. The contact pressures and shear rates in this contact are similar to those found in, for example, gears, rolling element bearings and cams. In addition to film thickness measurements, traction coefficients can be measured at any slide/roll ratio from pure rolling up to 100%.
Principle
The instrument measures the lubricant film thickness properties in the contact formed between a 3⁄4“ (19.05mm) diameter steel ball and a rotating glass disk by optical interferometry. The lubricant film thickness at any point in the
image can be accurately calculated by measuring the wavelength of light at that point. Normally the system measures the wavelength of the light returned from the central plateau of the contact and hence calculates the central film thickness.
