Taber Abrasion and Wear Testing Machine,used taber abrasion tester


Overview:

Taber Rotary Abraser 5135/5155, Abrasion and Wear Test Machine has been used for quality & process control, research & development and material evaluation.  Used to test a wide spectrum of materials, the instrument has been referenced in numerous standards and specifications (including plastics, coatings, laminates, leather, paper, ceramics, carpeting, safety glazing, etc.).

Principle:

Characteristic rub-wear action is produced by contact of the test specimen against the sliding rotation of the two abrading wheels.  As the turntable rotates, the wheels are driven by the sample in opposite directions about a horizontal axis displaced tangentially from the axis of the sample.  One abrading wheel rubs the specimen outward toward the periphery and the other, inward toward the center while a vacuum system removes loose debris during the test.  The wheels traverse a complete circle on the specimen surface, revealing abrasion resistance at all angles relative to the weave or grain of the material.  The resulting abrasion marks form a pattern of crossed arcs in a circular band that cover an area approximately 30 cm2.
