Lateral Force Measurement

Locking Pins

Agilent Nano Indenter G200 User's Guide
The Lateral Force Measurement (LFM) option, available on the Nano
Indenter G200, enables measurement of forces in the X-Y plane. This in
turn enables the calculation of the scratch friction coefficient for
scratches made in any direction. The resolution for frictional force
measurement is better than 10 mN over a range of 200 mN.
The LFM probes, which are mounted in the indenter head, are shown in
Figure 3- 12 and described in more detail in
Measurement".
