Falex Timken Test Machine

The Falex Timken Extreme Pressure Test Rig is one of the first commercially manufactured and most widely recognized testers for evaluating the load carrying capacity of extreme pressure lubricants. Originally developed in the 1930’s by The Timken Company, this tester evaluates fluid lubricants and greases containing extreme-pressure additives.

Manufactured by Falex Corporation since 1982, the Falex Timken Test Rig is supplied as a complete system to conduct ASTM Standard Test Methods D2509 and D2782.

Improvements include controlled rate test load and mechanical grease feeder systems, a test fluid recirculation system with temperature control, and an automatic fluid flow interrupter. Optional accessories include a variable speed motor and reservoir cooling system to improve versatility and performance.
