What Tribolab does
|
Tribolab conducts tribological tests and categorisations of materials under different operating conditions. This leads to fewer breakdowns and less damage in industry thanks to reduced wear and improved lubrication. Tribolab can also make calculations and model runs connected to laboratory tests.
All companies that need to handle questions related to wear, lubrication, friction, and maintenance in industrial processes benefit from the competitive advantage that TRIBOLAB offers. Knowledge and good analytical capabilities reduce costs and increase the quality and robustness of components.

Tribolab is growing
|
TRIBOLAB is continuously being expanded with the aim of being the world’s foremost research laboratory for tribological research and development. TRIBOLAB is unique thanks to its close cooperation with industry and the financial ability to maintain cutting-edge competence and world-leading measurement and testing equipment.
Tribolab is a joint project between Luleå University of Technology and Umeå University. The researcher teams at Luleå and Umeå together possess world-leading competence in tribology and lubricant properties. TRIBOLAB has today both Swedish and international companies as its customers.

What we offer
|
TRIBOLAB carries out commissioned projects and joint research and development projects, and holds courses and seminars in tribology, rheology, and maintenance and condition control.
TRIBOLAB:
- specifies and carries out relevant measurements.
- carries out fast, accurate measurement assignments with unique equipment based on international requirements.
- can manage all a company’s tribological testing through outsourcing.
- raises the level of knowledge through interaction between companies and the university’s research activities.
Assignments subject to secrecy are planned and carried out and the results
communicated to the client company. Experience gained from non-secret assignments is disseminated through our website, seminars, papers, and courses. The experience we gain is also applied in research and basic education at both universities.
TRIBOLAB also provides access to a network between companies and colleges/universities, which in turn gives greater knowledge, contact with companies with similar problems and the possibility to design major joint projects.
