Product Description:
Used primarily in the testing of ceramics, plastics, textiles, metals, leather, rubber and painted, lacquered and electroplated surfaces, accelerated wear test procedures have also been written into many test specifications including ASTM, ISO, TAPPI and DIN - as well as automotive manufacturing procedures around the world.
The Taber® Rotary Abraser is an industry standard used in the wear and durability testing and is available with either a single test head or dual testing heads, which allows the user to test two different or identical materials simultaneously.
Choose from a wide variety of abrading wheels and abraser accessories to simulate real-life wear conditions.
Features :
- Platform speeds 60 and 72rpm
- Balanced, calibrated arms and wheel mounts
- Vacuum system with precision height adjustment
- Sealed aluminium housing with membrane control panel and digital display

Grit Feeder Attachment
| Part Number: |
Model 155 |
ST980503-1 |
|
Model 255 |
ST980503-2 |
Provides a unique method to evaluate 3-body abrasion resistance on a variety of materials. Aluminium oxide grit particles are evenly distributed on to the specimen wear path and pass under a pair of leather wheels. This loose grit acts as an abradant aiding the action that contributes to the physical breakdown of materials.
The Abraser Vacuum is attached to the grit feeder and continuously removes both abraded material and used grit.
The Grit distributor and vacuum removal nozzle heights are adjusted using a thumbscrew. Two versions are available, Model 155 and Model 255. The Model 155 uses an alignment guide screw to set the position of the instrument. An alignment block is incorporated into the base of Model 255, to ensure the correct location of the grit feeder in relation to the Abraser.
Both models are supplied complete with:
- S-39 Leather wheel set
- S-38 Standardisation Plates
- S-41 #240 Aluminium oxide
- Alignment guide and mounting hardware

Sample Cutter
The Model 5000 Sample Cutter will cut precise 106mm (4.2”) circular sample with a 6.35mm (0.25”) centre hole to prepare your specimens for use with the Elcometer Taber® Abrasers.
An easy counter-clockwise cutting motion allows you to cut a variety of materials. Optional pads, which allow cutting thicknesses of 0.03mm (0.001”) to 6.35mm (0.25”), are also available.
