Chatillon® Grips & Fixtures
Coefficient of Friction (COF)

The following grips and fixtures are used to measure the force required to overcome the frictional resistance between two imposed surfaces, when one surface is moved relative to the other along their plane of contact.

The static friction is determined by the force required to overcome the initial resistance between the two surfaces.

The kinetic friction is determined by the subsequent force when continuously sliding at a constant rate.

We Can Help!
Selecting the correct grip can be difficult. In fact, improper grips or fixtures are the second leading reason (loadcells are the main reason) why tests fail and results aren't what you expected.

Send us some samples. We'll evaluate and recommend the proper grip or fixture for your application. Just contact your nearest Technical Support Center.
