Reciprocating Abraser 5900
Wear and Scratch Testing
Unique design ensures simple instrument set-up.
Test specimens are mounted to a sliding platform that moves in a
horizontal, reciprocating motion under a stationary tool holder. A
counterweight enables the operator to balance the test arm prior to
applying the test load, thus ensuring the exact load will be applied. An
adjustable gantry allows the test system to be positioned according to the
height of the specimen. Test parameters such as stroke length, speed,
and load are adjustable.
Optional attachments provide versatility to satisfy numerous test
requirements.
Incorporated at the end of the test arm is a tool holder to which
optional attachments and weights are secured. Ideal for flat
surfaces, the Taber Reciprocating Abraser can be configured to
evaluate the susceptibility of a material surface to abrasion,
scratch, scrape, rub, plus many other physical properties. With
optional accessories based on GM test methods, this apparatus
will also test the abrasion resistance of textile specimens using
various friction media.
Maximize testing time with extra test arm assembly kits.
Using additional test arm kits (sold separately), the Taber
Reciprocating Abraser can test up to three specimens simultaneously
to increase technician output or compare different product formulations
at the same time.
