Material Compatibility Test System (MCTS)
Automotive squeaks occur when materials in contact rub against one another causing annoying noises from friction-induced stick-slips. Automotive itches are a special category of squeaks that can develop when rubber or plastic rubs against glass or paint. The MB Dynamics Material Compatibility Squeak & Itch Test System (MCTS) is designed and manufactured to subject contacting pairs of materials and actual vehicle parts to precisely controlled interference & motion under in-vehicle environmental conditions in order to acquire, monitor, analyze and report friction and acoustic characteristics with the objective to:
