A test bench for testing the frictional or tribological properties of at least one plain bearing or test bearing shell.

The technical field of application of this test capacity is either the testing the shells of plain bearing shells of connecting rod/crank systems, such as the crankshaft bearings of combustion engines for motor vehicles, or the testing of lubricity of different oils under identical conditions.
