Falex Pin & Vee Block Test Machine

The Falex Pin & Vee Block Test Machine is a laboratory tool for evaluating wear, friction and extreme pressure properties of materials and lubricants.

The equipment rotates a 1/4 inch diameter test pin (journal) against two 1/2 inch diameter vee blocks.  A four line contact region is established as load is applied through a mechanical gage by a ratchet wheel and an  eccentric arm.
