The TABER® Linear Abraser (Abrader) - Model 5750 has been engineered to test either contoured or flat surfaces, making it ideal to evaluate finished products of all sizes. To expand the versatility of this instrument, the Linear Abraser can be configured with optional test attachments to perform different types of abrasion tests. And can be used for both wet and dry testing.
TABER® Linear Abraser - Model 5750 [part# 985750] offers the greatest versatility of any Taber instrument available.
Designed to test virtually any size or shape specimen, the Linear Abraser is ideal for material properties of contoured surfaces and finished products. Initially developed to evaluate wear resistance, this instrument can also be used to evaluate scratch resistance (single or multiple pass), color transfer [commonly referred to as crocking or a crockmeter], and perform coin scrape tests. Plus, with the universal or a custom attachment, 'real world' testing and other forms of material durability can be performed. The Linear Abraser can be used for both wet and dry testing.
Description
A precision bearing on the spline shaft creates a "free-floating head". As the arm strokes in a linear motion, this "free-floating head" follows the contours of the specimen - curved or flat.
To enable you to simulate real world conditions, test parameters can be altered so optimal settings for each material can be established. The Taber® Linear Abraser allows you to select stroke length, speed, and load.
