| Linear Abraser |
| Taber® 5750 |
| 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 fir each material can be established. The Taber® Linear Abraser allows you to select stroke length, speed, and load. Testing versatility is achieved with interchangeable attachments. The collet assembly comes standard with each Linear Abraser, and is used for wear testing. Other attachments, which are sold separately include: • Scrarch Kit - perform single or multiple pass scratch testing with a diamond tool • Scratch/Mar Tips - perform sinjgle or multiple pass scratch testing with 1mm or 7mm spherical tips • Coin Holder Attachment - perform coin scrape testing • Jumbo Wearaser Collet - perfrom wear testing with Taber's 1/2 diameter abradants • Crockmeter Kit - perform color transfer or rub testing • Universal Kit - perfrom 'real world' testing by attaching virtually anything to this attachment and abrade against your specimen (or visa-versa) • Precision Knuckle Attachmant - adjustable mounting angle of 180º mounting stud and nut allow you to attach all types of materials to abrade against your specimen (or visa-versa) If you have a unique application, Taber has the ability to manufacture or develop custom attachments. For convenience, the Linear Abraser includes two (2) operating modes, RUN and REFACE. During normal testing, the mode should be set to RUN. The REFACE mode is provided for wear testing, and allows the user to reface the abradant without having to reprogram the number of cycles. The Linear Abraser is CE Marked, and is 115V/230V switchable. |

| Measure abrasion
resistance and other material properties of finished products of any size
or shape – flat, concave or convex. |
The Linear Abraser uses a free-floating
head to follow the contours of every sample, permitting testing of finished
products. With virtually no limit on sample size or shape, the Linear
Abraser is ideal for testing plastics, automotive components, painted
parts, printed graphics, optical products, rubber, leather, textiles,
and for use in testing laboratories. |
| Versatile testing with a single, rugged, durable machine. |
With adjustable stroke length, speed,
load, and a wide selection of Taber Wearasers, the Linear Abraser allows
you to customize test parameters to your exact needs. An optional specimen
table provides additional flexibility for small or odd-shaped samples.
Plus, optional attachments can be used to perform scratch, coin scrape,
Crockmeter, rub and custom testing. |
| Maintain consistent testing standards with Taber’s world-famous abrasives. |
The Linear Abraser abrades with a
Wearaser®. The size and shape of a pencil eraser, the Wearaser uses
the high-quality Taber abrasive media found in our world-famous wheels
so you’re assured of consistent test results. |
