Akron abrasion tester

AT-R7009 Akron Abrasion Test Machine China Manufacturer

Akron abrasion tester is used to determine the abrasion resistance of vulcanized rubber and other elastic materials such as soles, tires, chariot tracks. Through the friction between the sample and the grinding wheel at a certain inclination angle and under the specified load, the abrasion volume of the sample within a certain mileage is measured.

Test Principle

A disc-shaped test piece is mounted to the spindle and driven by an electric motor at a constant velocity. A free-running abrasive wheel is placed against the specimen by means of a mass acting via a pivoted crank. The planes of the specimen and the abrasive wheel shall be inclined at an angle of 15° or 25° to each other based on the specific test piece.

Each test is composed of a trial run, a wearing-in period and five test runs. The values of mass loss determined from the 5 test runs are measured with a balance to calculate the abrasion resistance index.

BS903 A9 Method B, GB/T 1689, CNS 734, JIS-K6264, etc.
