Target feel
DAMPING
Create a controlled feel
Design repeatable feel through viscosity, return behaviour, temperature and application location.
DIAGNOSTIC FRAMEWORK
Possible causes and checks
Review these possible factors against observed conditions.
Viscosity and temperature-dependent drag
Measure torque by temperature and record starting, continuous and return feel separately.
Clearance and dose variation
Compare samples with controlled clearance and dose to assess manufacturing variation in feel.
Angle, speed and return conditions
Use measurable angle, speed and return time alongside subjective user impressions.
COMPARATIVE EVALUATION
Comparative test sequence
- Record the baseline
- Compare one factor
- Retest candidate materials
- Review life-test results
TEST BRIEF
Information for your enquiry
- Component and materials
- Material grades, preparation, dimensions, contact surfaces and assembly conditions.
- Environment and operation
- Angle and speed / Clearance / Target feel
- Process and current material
- Current grade, application/cure/cleaning conditions and when behaviour changed.
- Acceptance and records
- Targets, measurement methods, before/after photographs and values, and required life conditions.
