Frequency Reciprocating Rig (HFRR) Tester FFT-M: Next-Generation Lubricity & Wear Evaluation

The Rtec Instruments FFT-M is a next-generation benchtop High Frequency Reciprocating Rig (HFRR) designed to evaluate the lubricity of diesel fuels and screen the friction and wear performance of engine oils, greases, and additives. Moving away from traditional mechanical setups that rely on dead weights, the FFT-M incorporates advanced programmable force control and an innovative bearingless suspension to deliver industry-leading precision and reliability.

As the authorized distributor for LMS Scientific in Malaysia, we provide top-tier scientific instrumentation accompanied by localized technical support, compliance calibration, and application expertise for automotive, petrochemical, and fuel testing laboratories across the region.

Key Functions & Innovative Features

  • Bearingless Flexure Design: Features a voice coil-based flexural suspension design completely free of mechanical bearings. This eliminates internal friction and wear within the drive mechanism, ensuring ultra-high reliability and data purity.
  • Closed-Loop Downforce Control: Uses real-time measurement and electronic force control rather than dead weights. Users can program constant, linear, or step force profiles dynamically during a single test run.
  • Ultra-Precise Stroke Control: Delivers the industry’s smallest controllable stroke range from 10 µm to 2.8 mm at frequencies up to 200 Hz. Real-time stroke and frequency monitoring and correction are continuously managed via an integrated LVDT.
  • In-Line Friction Monitoring: Equipped with a high-frequency Piezo friction sensor to monitor changing surface dynamics in real time.
  • Comprehensive Environmental Simulation: Features an environmental enclosure supporting closed-loop control over humidity, temperature, and inert gas integration to simulate real-world operating conditions.

Target Applications in Malaysia

  • Petrochemical & Fuel Refineries: Determining the lubricity of diesel fuels to fulfill strict commercial and environmental fuel specifications.
  • Lubricant & Additive Manufacturing: Screening and optimizing the anti-wear and friction-reducing performance of new engine oils, industrial greases, and specialized additives.
  • Academic & Industrial R&D: Investigating linear friction, fretting phenomena, and wear track developments on advanced material interfaces.

Strict Standards Compliance

The Rtec FFT-M HFRR tester is fully compliant with major international testing standards, ensuring your laboratory results are globally recognized:
  • ISO 12156-1: Diesel fuel assessment using a high-frequency reciprocating rig.
  • ASTM D6079 & ASTM D7688: Standard test methods for evaluating diesel fuel lubricity.
  • CEC F-06-A-96: Fluid lubricity evaluation methods.
  • IP450 & BS-EN590 / BS-EC590: Compliance pipelines for European and international diesel specifications.
Note: Standard reference calibration oils (high and low viscosity) along with standardized test disks are supplied with the system for routine calibration verification.
