A brand new accessory for the MPR, designed specifically to combat grease starvation in tribological contacts.
Testing grease in conditions that mimic real-world mechanical stresses has always been a significant challenge for researchers. Starvation during these tests can skew results, making it hard to predict how a grease will perform under actual working conditions. That is why we created the PCS Instruments MPR GI – a brand new, optional accessory for the MPR.
This cutting-edge accessory delivers grease to the MPR’s three-disc contact in a controlled, accurate, and repeatable manner, guaranteeing that starvation doesn’t compromise test data. It’s a significant step forward in the testing of fatigue behaviour of greases, integrating smoothly with the existing MPR software for ease of use and complete user customisation.
