Wear and tear tests are applied to determine the durability and lifespan of moving mechanical, composite, and rubber components exposed to friction in land vehicles. Evaluating the performance of these components operating under continuous motion and load, detecting potential failures in advance, and optimizing materials are among the primary objectives of these tests.

During testing, parameters such as wear amount, friction coefficient, surface degradation, temperature rise, and material loss are measured. The obtained data is used to determine how long the components can endure and under which conditions they reach critical levels.

Wear and tear test systems must operate stably over long test cycles. Therefore, long-term stability in system design and component selection is crucial. Additionally, calibration, control, and data acquisition capabilities are highly important for these test systems. The systems must be resistant to heat, vibration, and repeated mechanical stress. Moreover, conducting test processes in compliance with standards (such as ISO, ASTM, SAE) is mandatory for the reliability of results. This way, manufacturers can accurately predict the lifespan of vehicle components and develop more durable designs.
