In certain configurations—particularly when there are requirements for speed and/or torque—a module with an integrated motor has been recommended.
The difference, therefore, is that to change modules (from reciprocating to rotary, for example), it is necessary to uninstall the module with it motor from the stage.
  1. Open the upper back door of the MFT-5000.
  1. Insert the motor drive on the stage.

  1. Secure it with 6 x 8-32 x .375” BM310280-05 9/64
  1. Connect the 2 cables on the slot behind the right frame.

Overview → Rotary Ambient Dry Test


The Rotary drive is used across a wide range of tests, used as a base module to complete several other modules

The drive is mounted on the XY stage using the fast exchange drive. The tribometer allows to run both rotary drive and XY stage at same time which can be programmed independently. Various rotary drives torque and speed ratings allows it to cover wide range of test conditions.
Typically the sample is mounted on the rotary drive using standard universal disk holder.

This universal rotary holder can accommodate any rotary sample of radius within this range without the need for a centered insert on the sample.

Range of [12.7 , 50.8] mm / [0.5 , 2]”

  1. Mount the Universal Sample holder onto the rotary table.
  1. Secure it with the 6, 4-40 X .250" using a 3/32" Allen key.
    Sample holder screw provided in the toolbox.

Securing the sample disk


  1. Loosen the 3 gripper's screws
2. Place the fine securing screw in the “Free Position”:

  1. Slide the 3 grippers in contact with the sample.
  1. Once the sample is positioned, tighten the 3 gripper's screws.
  1. Finally, tighten the fine screw until it is pushing the sample, preventing any rotation during the test.

Liquid Ambient Test


 

Remove the Rotary Table


  1. Using a 9/64" Allen key, remove the existing sample holder disk to prepare for the chamber installation.
  1. Remove the thread adapter with a flat screwdriver.
    Turn it counterclockwise like a screw to remove it.
  1. Remove also the pin from the rotary table disk.
    From the other side of the disk, push the pin out using a 0.050" Allen key.

The pin is a 0.094” x 0.375” dowel pin, part number BM280103-04.
The thread adapter is part number BM430001.

Install the Chamber Housing


  1. Position the chamber housing onto the rotary drive with the two dowel pins positioned along the Y-Axis.
  1. Secure the housing using six 4-40 X .250” screws using a 3/32" Allen key.
