Contact engineering enables achieving effective contact interface with desired tribological properties by controlling contact loads, deformations, topography, roughness, material’s and other surface properties from nano to macro scale, as well as various surface technologies and modifications.
In a field of lubricants and lubrication we deal with different lubricating systems and an integrated approach for linking contact surfaces and lubricants in a synergistic functioning unit. Our focus is mostly on the boundary lubrication in the most loaded contacts and on the topic of environmentally friendly (green) lubrication technology.
Surface nanotechnology uses advanced analysis and characterization of surfaces and physical-chemical processes at the surfaces to obtain innovative surface functionalities. With state of the art analytical methods and tools it enables an in-depth understanding of surface processes and interactions from nano to macro scale.
Technical diagnostics is used within Condition Based Maintenance (CBM) by monitoring vibro-acoustical and oil features. It includes data acquisition and pre-analysis, fault diagnosis, prediction and actions.
We deal with stable and predictable state of the process of production, maintenance and control, as well as planning and design of cost-efficient management of machinery through their investment, installation, operation, maintenance and recycling.
We deal with research and development for tribologically-optimized mechanical systems. With knowledge and experience in the field of lubrication, materials, functional surfaces and topography, nanotribology and use of modern theoretical models, calculations and simulations, current knowledge and experimental work with the latest research equipment we provide innovative solutions to the expert level.
