Polytech Instruments offers Taber Rotary Abraser, [5135/5155]. Polytech Instruments is an ISO 9001:2000 certified company. The Taber Rotary Abraser or [Abrader] was developed to perform accelerated wear testing. This Taber Rotary Abraser is used for wear and abrasion testing. Taber abrading wheels produce characteristic rub wear action. Mounted to a rotating turntable, specimens are subjected to the rub-wear action of two abrasive wheels. Driven by the test sample, the wheels produce abrasion marks that form a pattern of crossed arcs over a circular ring approximately 30 square centimeters. This reveals abrasion resistance at all angles relative to the weave or grain of the material.
Taber Rotary Abraser is simple to operate and this device is used as a standard for wear and abrasion research, quality and process control, materials evaluation, and product development. Taber Rotary Abrasers are capable of providing reliable data in a matter of minutes. The Taber Abraser can be used to test virtually any flat specimen. Its field of application includes tests of painted, lacquered, powder coated, and electroplated surfaces; textile fabrics ranging from sheer silks to heavy upholstery and carpeting; and solid materials such as metals, stone and ceramics.
