Diseño y Fabricación de máquina para medir coeficiente de fricción en baleros de fuerza radial: Design and Manufacturing of a Machine to Measure the Coefficient of Friction in Radial Force Bearings

This thesis presents the design and construction of a tribometer intended for evaluating radial force. The work is structured in stages, beginning with the initial conceptualization phase, where key functional requirements and design parameters were defined.

In the subsequent stages, the focus shifted to detailed design and practical fabrication, translating theoretical concepts into a working prototype. Each phase is documented to illustrate how conceptual ideas were refined into an operational instrument capable of reliable force measurement.
