Taber Abrasion Resistance Tester

Taber Abrasion Tester is also referred to as Taber abraser or Taber abrader, which is used to evaluate the wear resistance of materials or finished products.

The machine features a rotary platform, allowing two abrading wheels to slide against the test piece at a constant speed.

This single platform Taber Abrasion Tester owns an elaborate design and adopts a precise drive system and a transmission device to ensure it runs smoothly, reliably and with low noise during use, providing a reliable and comfortable testing experience.

It is widely applicable to the determination of abrasion resistance of the leather, fabrics, textiles, coatings, paint, glass, ceramics, paper, high-pressure decorative laminates, natural rubbers, plastics, etc.

Test Principle of Taber Abrasion Tester

A test piece is mounted to the round turnplate (as a specimen holder) with rotation function under control. Two abrasive wheels attached to the free ends of pivoted arms rub against the specimen under the given downward pressure. Driven by the turntable, one abrading wheel grinds the test piece inward toward the center, and the other one rubs the test piece outward toward the periphery. Abrasion resistance is assessed by an average rate of loss in mass / volume of the specimen or the number of cycles to the end-point.
