Engineered for Versatile Abrasion Testing
The TABER® Linear Abraser (Abrader) – Model 5770 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.
Advanced Test System Design
The Taber Linear Abraser incorporates a horizontal arm that reciprocates in a linear motion. Attached to the end of the arm is a precision bearing spline shaft that creates a ‘free-floating’ test system and permits vertical movement. The test attachments are affixed to the bottom of the spline shaft and a weight support is mounted to the top. As the horizontal arm strokes back and forth, the test system raises or lowers vertically as the test attachment follows the contours of the specimen.
User-Friendly Interface and Controls
The model 5770 introduces a series of innovative enhancements designed to optimize the user experience. Featuring an intuitive, operator-friendly LCD touchscreen, the interface offers easy navigation and customizable options for streamlined operation. Adjustable settings enable the user to select the speed (from 2 to 75 cycles per minute with 8 preset speeds), stroke length (eleven stroke lengths ranging from 0.2 inch to 4.0 inch) and test load.
Flexible Load Configuration
The base load of the “free-floating” test system is 350 grams and consists of the test attachment, spline shaft, and weight support. Three 250g weight discs are supplied with the instrument and optional weight discs ranging from 10 to 250 grams can be added to the weight support to increase the test load to approximately 2100 grams. Optional accessories can also be used to decrease the load to as low as 60 grams.
