TaberRotary Abraser 5135/5155

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. Referenced in numerous international test standards and specifications. Simple to operate, this instrument has been accepted worldwide 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, compared to the years that may be required with in-use testing. Test a wide range of products. The Taber Abraser can be used to test virtually any flat specimen. Its field of application has included 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. Other materials include paper, glass, plastics, leather, rubber, linoleum, laminates, plus many others.

Sample Cutter
Prepare specimens for the Taber Rotary Abraser with the Model 5000 Sample Cutter. A heavyduty blade cuts a 4.2-inch diameter specimen and the punch creates a precise inch center hole. Use for a variety of materials, including paper, cardboard, rubber, leather, vinyl, linoleum, carpet, textiles, thin metals, flexible plastics, plus many others.

Abraser?

Quiet Cabinet
The Quiet Cabinet has been specially designed to reduce sound levels by approximately 20% and provide a convenient, dust-free workspace for your Taber Abraser. The upper cabinet features a hinged Plexiglas viewing window to monitor testing. The lower cabinet holds the abraser vacuum unit and includes a built-in exhaust system to provide the proper air circulation.

Grit Feeder
The Grit Feeder is used to evaluate three body abrasion caused by the destructive action of fine hard particles. Originally designed to evaluate the resistance of floor surface coatings to abrasion, this instrument distributes a consistent flow of aluminum oxide grit onto a specimen surface before it passes under a pair of leather-clad wheels. The grit particles serve as the abradant and aids in the rolling action that contributes to the materials breakdown.

Scuffing Head Wheel Refacer

The Model 250 Diamond Wheel Refacer is a precision instrument that was specifically developed for dressing the contact surfaces of CALIBRADE wheels (H-10, H-18, H-22 and H-38). It is also suitable for CALIBRASE abrasive wheels that have become out-of-round (CS-10F, CS-10 and CS-17). The Scuffing Head Attachment is used to evaluate the scuff-resistance of materials such as vinyl, painted surfaces, leather, car floor mats, etc. Mounted to the left hand abraser arm mount, a scuffing head and weight are used in place of the abrading wheels. As the table rotates, the scuffing head is dragged across the specimen surface. Three different profiles are offered.

Test Accessories
Taber offers a selection of specimen plates to assist with the evaluation of coatings. Counterweights are available to expand the testing load. And, to test specimens that are greater than 12mm but less than 40mm, we offer the arm height extension kit.

Specimen Holders
The Taber Abraser can be used for many different applications. Interchangeable specimen holders provide a suitable fixing device dependent on the material.

Abrading Wheels
Abrading Wheels are available in a range of abrasiveness. Calibrase wheels are a resilient composition, which are typically used to test rigid specimens. Calibrade wheels are a virtrified composition, often used to evaluate flexible specimens. Other wheels are available for specific applications and custom formulations can be developed upon request.

Calibration Verification Kit

To generate useful data, it is critical that the Taber Abraser is within established calibration tolerances. The Calibration Verification Kit provides a fast, reliable system check to verify if a Taber Rotary Platform Abraser is within calibration. When properly used, this cost effective method enables users to determine if an instrument should be returned to the factory for recalibration or repair prior to its scheduled calibration. Part No.
