The invention relates to a device (1) for measuring friction on a cylinder-piston arrangement, wherein a reciprocating piston (3) is arranged in a cylinder liner (2) of a liner unit (23), said cylinder liner being decoupled from a cylinder head (9), and the liner unit (23) is arranged in a liner carrier (8) which is connected to a sensor carrier and which has a rotationally symmetrical receiving region (13) for the cylinder liner (2), said receiving region being concentric to the cylinder axis (21), wherein preferably at least one cooling jacket (12) is assigned to the cylinder liner (2). In order to enable easy replacement of the cylinder liner (2) it is provided that the liner unit (23) is mounted in the liner carrier (8) via a tapered seat (14), wherein preferably at least one tapered inner jacket surface of the receiving region (13) forms a first seat surface (14a) and a tapered outer jacket surface (19a, 19b) of the liner unit (23) that is shaped in a manner reciprocal to the first seat surface (14a) forms a second seat surface (14b) of the tapered seat (14) for receiving and centring the cylinder liner (2).
