...Christoph Burkhart; Dominik Weyrich; Stefan Thielen; Tim Schollmayer; Bernd Sauer In order to systematically investigate the tribological behavior of machine elements, several different tribometers based on simplifications of the contact situation have been developed and used successfully...

... of using liquid lubrication in this application. Measurements of friction and lubricant film thickness have been made for liquid lubricants of different viscosities, including low viscosity silicone oil, hexadecane, squalane, and water. Testing was carried out using a newly developed MEMS tribometer...
