Purpose: the purpose of the study is to reveal the manner of improvement, extension of possibilities and increase of effectiveness in conducting research with the use of Amsler machine. Design/methodology/approach: In order to reach the goals further actions were provided: - The replacement of mechanical measuring unit with electronic meter circuit with the X - Y and Y - t microprocessor recorder, - Design and realization of new construction of research head, - Introduction of computer for data processing and analyzing. Findings: Applied modernization enables expansion, increase of precision and effectiveness of conducted research. As an example the further tasks of limiting of maximum temperature of lubricant in the conditions of friction pair determined loaded was presented. Research limitations/implications: Analyzed modernization of the machine refers to pin on disk unit sliding friction processes. Practical implications: Broadening of range of possibilities of data processing in tribological research conduction. Originality/value: This publication can be used by centers conducting research on tribological processes, especially on friction pairs systems, sliding friction models, in extend given: - selection of materials for friction pair elements, Analysis of research on friction and attrition processes, - Lubricant selection for specified tribological system.
