Abstract
The aim of the invention is to provide a device for measuring friction conditions enabling precise measurement and displaying high reproductibility, using simple means. According to the invention, this is achieved by connecting the point of application of force for the introduction of a normal force to the point of application of force of a normal force sensor by means of an elastic flexing element. The flexing element is also connected to the point of application of force for the introduction of a tangential force and the friction force sensor. Connections occur via partial areas with varying flexural strengths and both partial areas are offset at an angle of 90°. The inventive device which examines the friction conditions between friction partners enables a normal force to be applied between two corresponding friction partners and to be determined by means of a normal force sensor. The tangential force that also acts between the corresponding friction partners is determined using a friction force sensor.
