Rotary Abrasion Tester

Caltech India is the manufacturer and supplier of CES 423 Rotational Abrasion Tester. It is commonly referred to as the Taber Abraser (Abrader) or Rotary Platform Head Tester. It is applicable to determine abrasion resistance performance of various coatings. It is also used to determine abrasion resistance of paper, plastic, textile fabric, decorations, etc. It is also called as rotary platform abrasion testing machine. Abrasion resistance test method is very old technique over 80 years and used for many applications. Abraser or Rotary abrasion test has been a popular method for accelerated evaluation of abrasion and wear resistance. Buy rotary abrasion testers, from top-quality and cost-effective Rotary abrasion tester manufacturers for accelerated evaluation of abrasion and wear resistance of a wide spectrum of materials.

Rotary abrasion tester is a cost-effective, easy to use and high quality instrument. Taber type abrasion tester is used to cover a wide spectrum of materials (including plastics, coatings, laminates, leather, paper, ceramics, carpeting, safety glazing, etc.) and is built in conformance to ASTM C501 / C1353 / D4157 / D1044 / D3389 / D3451 / D3730 / D3884 / D4060 / D4685 / D4712 / D5144 / D5146 / D5324/ D6037 / D7255/ F362/ F510/ F1478/ G195/ F1978, TAPPI T476, as well as many other International DIN, MIL, EN, BN, ISO, JIS, SAE, BS, and ANSI standards. Taber type abrasion tester can be used to perform abrasion and wear testing on virtually any flat specimen. Its field of application has included abrasion and wears testing of painted, lacquered, powder coated, and electroplated surfaces, textile fabrics ranging from sheer silks to heavy upholstery and carpeting. It is also popular for wear testing of abrasion resistant coatings.

For this method, a four-inch diameter specimen (flat, round or square shaped), normally less than (½”) or 12.5mm thickness is mounted on a rotating turntable. Abrasive wheels are applied to the sample using a fixed weight. For a specified number of cycles, the abrasive wheels wear away the sample. Usually, two samples are tested. Taber abrasion machine result is calculated by measuring the weight loss cycles of abrasion. Abrasive wheels are commonly made of vitrified clay, and they come in a several levels of coarseness. The test procedure is to abrade specimens against a pair of grinding wheels under a specified pressure. Caltech Engineering Services offer rotary taber type abrasion tester, which is supplied with vacuum unit and has feature to trim automatically after selected cycles are elapsed. Abrasion Testing Machine gives best abrasion test results.

With the rotary abrasion method, a rub-wear action (sliding rotation) is applied on the surface of the test piece and the abrasion marks create a pattern of crossed arcs in a circular band that cover an specific area. A key characteristic of rotary taber type abrasion tester (abrader / abraser) is the abrasion wheels traverse a complete circle on the sample surface, showing abrasion resistance at all angles relative to the grain or weave of the material. It is equivalent to TABER Rotary Platform Abrasion Tester – Model 1700 / 1750.

Features:

• Can select many different sorts abrasion medium for different tests
• Specimen turntable speed control options of both 60 rpm and 72 rpm.
• LCD display for accurate and convenient setting and monitoring to the whole test.
• Three different precise stainless steel weights（500g, 750g, 1000g）ensure the different requirements for different loads. Weight are marked to show total load on each wheel. This marking includes the weight of the abrading arm （250 grams）
• Abrading arms and fixing sleeve of abrading wheel have been calibrated and balanced before leaving factory.
• A vacuum system is included and equipped with cleaner to move the loose abrading’s or any dirt
• A precision vacuum nozzle adjustment control allows the height to be modified for accommodating varying specimen thickness.
• A Quick Release Mounting Hub permits quick wheel mounting without the need of a locking nut.
• Equipped with S-11 Resurfacing medium disc from Taber company
• Equipped with a pair of standard abrasive rubber wheel CS-10 or CS-17 from Taber compa
