Dual (Double) Platform Taber Rotary Abraser

Taber abrasion test is a test method to evaluate the abrasion resistance of materials, which is to simulate whether the material can withstand repeated friction under set conditions. The test method is that a specimen rotating at a fixed speed is pressed against a pair of abrading wheels, and the specified load is applied to the specimen. When the turntable rotates, the abrasion wheel is driven to rub the specimen. The mass loss caused by abrasion is the difference in the mass of the specimen before and after the test. Taber abrasion test is one of many abrasion test methods. The word “Taber” comes from the name of the company that invented this machine.

Taber Abrasion Testing Machine can almost be called a versatile device. It is widely applicable to the determination of abrasion resistance of the leather, fabrics, textiles, coatings, paints, varnishes, carpets, ceramics, porcelain enamels, wood, furniture, paper, high-pressure decorative laminates, glass, rubber, plastic, luggage, anodized aluminum, deck and floor coverings, synthetic turf, etc.

Taber Type Abrasion Tester plays a vital role in evaluating the wear-resisting property of the materials and products. For some special purpose products in the industrial field, the ability of raw materials to resist wear is a crucial property that manufacturers have to focus on, as it directly impacts the quality of finished products. Taber abraser can determine this property within a short time in the laboratory to attain a relatively reliable result.

Amade is able to supply different types of Taber Abraser. If you are looking for a Taber abrasion tester for sale, please feel free to reach Amade for more details.

We know that Taber Abraser is widely used and can meet dozens of different test standards. The products in each test standard are different, and different products are required to use different types of grinding wheels during the test. Faced with so many types of grinding wheels, how should we choose?

When we choose the grinding wheel, we must choose the corresponding grinding wheel according to the characteristics of the grinding wheel and the difference of the sample. Please refer to the grinding wheel models and corresponding sample types listed in the table below to help you select the correct grinding wheels.

Don’t worry. Please directly inform Amade Sales what product you will use this Taber Tester to test on or what standard you will follow in your test. Our sales specialists will include the right abrading wheels in the quotation for you.

After receiving your inquiry, we will analyze and confirm the type of consumables to be matched. The consumables are already included in our quotation, so you don’t need to buy additional consumables, including the vacuum cleaner, which is also a free gift together with the machine. You can purchase from AMADE with confidence. There are no hidden extra costs.

In the future, if your consumables are used up and you want to buy new consumables, you can contact AMADE to buy them at any time.

Disk Area Requirements:

The size of the specimen is related to the material. For most hard-made specimens, the specimen size can be a square with a side length of 100 mm (4.0 inches). For soft specimens, the specimen should be round and use a sample holder. If a sample pad is used, the diameter of the sample should be 108 mm (4.25 inches). If the sample pad is not used, the diameter of the sample should be 135 mm (5.25 inches) so that the sample fixing ring can clamp the edge of the specimen.

If the specimen is smaller than the recommended size, you can put 2 to 3 samples on the specimen pad to meet the needs of the test. If the edges of the sample cannot butt or the thickness of the sample is different, the abrasion test results reflected on the edges will be different from the results of other parts of the sample.

Thickness requirements:

The standard thickness is 6.35 mm (0.25 inches). For samples with a thickness of more than 6.35 mm (0.25 inches) and less than 12.7 mm (0.5 inches), the S-21 riser nut needs to be adjusted. Thickness exceeding 12.7 mm (0.5 inches) requires the use of an abrasion bracket arm raising device.

Of course. Our standard accessories include a pair of 250g weights, a pair of 500g weights and a pair of 750g weights. However, if your test does not use some of these weights, we can provide you with only one or two of them. For example, if you don’t need 250 and 500g weights, we can only configure 6 pcs of 500g weights for you, without extra cost.

No matter what your personalized requirements, please tell the AMADE salesperson directly, we will do our best to meet your requirements.

1. Check and ensure that the Taber abrasion testing machine and all necessary accessories, including vacuum cleaner, specimen, weights, abrading wheels, wrench, brush, etc., are in place.
2. According to the specimen, please choose the right abrasive wheels, attach them to the pivoted arms, and tighten the knurled nuts to ensure that both are secured. Please note that there are resilient abrading wheels and vitrified abrading wheels. To achieve consistency of the test, the resilient wheels have to be refaced using a resurfacing disc(S-11) or sandpaper before every test and at intervals. For more details, refer to the specification in the standard cited. The vitrified abrading wheels don’t need this process.
3. Weigh the specimen before being rubbed, and screw off bolts and take down the clamp ring from the specimen holder, then place the test specimen on the turntable in place (circular backing cardboard or a solid board equivalent to it is necessary to be padded beneath the specimen If the test piece is soft fabric), then screw up the bolts to fix the specimen.
4. Lower the two grinding heads slowly and carefully until the wheels rest on the specimen, then check whether it needs to add loading weight based on different standards (weights of 250 g, 500 g & 750 g are available).
5. Put down the ledge with vacuum pickup nozzles, adjust the position and vertical height above the surface of the test pieces according to the specification, and connect the vacuum machine to the Taber abrader, start the vacuum, and adjust the pressure to an appropriate value.
6. Set the number of specimen revolutions and abrading speed, press the test button to start the machine.
7. The machine will stop automatically once reaching the set number of cycles. You can brush the test piece and weigh it again to calculate the test result based on the specific method in the standard.

Please note: The above is a generic instruction for your reference. More test procedures in detail must follow the specific Taber abrasion test standards referenced.

1. The machine must be placed on a level table before use.
2. It is not allowed to move the machine during use.
3. Select the corresponding power supply and voltage, do not use over-high voltage to avoid burning the device.
4. When the instrument is abnormal, please contact our company for timely handling.
5. Please pay attention to check the machine at regular intervals and add the proper amount of lubricating oil for some mechanical components If necessary.
6. After each test, clean the machine and keep the machine clean.
7. The control part must be wiped with a dry cloth, not a wet cloth.
