About Rotary Abrasion Tester
Rotary Abrasion Tester
The principle of abrasion derived by the test sample, turning on a vertical axis, against the sliding rotation of 2 Abrading Wheels. The wheels are driven by the sample in opposite directions about a horizontal axis displaced tangentially from the axis of the sample. One of the abrading wheel rubs the specimen outward toward the periphery and the other wheel, inward to the centre. The area of abrasion from a pattern of crossed arcs of about 30sq.cm.
The degree of abrasion for the specimen also depends on the load force500g, 750g or 1000g on each armbeing acted onto the axial of the 2Arms,which has a load pressure of 250g

FAQs of Rotary Abrasion Tester:
Q: How does the Rotary Abrasion Tester with Drive Mechanism operate?
A: The tester uses a high precision synchronous motor to rotate the abrasion wheel against the mounted specimen at a fixed speed of 72 rpm. Users can select between supplied standard weights (5N or 10N), set the required number of cycles (19999), and utilize the digital counter to monitor test progress. The programmable timer ensures controlled, repeatable operation.
Q: What sample types and industries benefit most from this tester?
A: This tester is suitable for testing textiles, leather, plastics, paints, and coatings, making it ideal for quality control and research in industries such as automotive, apparel, packaging, and surface finishing. Its variable measurement range accommodates specimens up to 10 mm thick.
Q: When is calibration or maintenance required for the tester?
A: Regular calibration using the included calibration tool is recommended before critical test routines or after extended periods of non-use. Due to its low-maintenance design, periodic cleaning (particularly of the sample holder and abrasion wheel area) will keep the machine performing optimally.
Q: Where should the Rotary Abrasion Tester be installed for optimal performance?
A: Install the tester on a stable, level surface in an environment with ambient temperatures between 5C and 40C and humidity up to 85% RH. Ensure proximity to an AC 220V, 50 Hz power supply. The unit is compact enough for most laboratories or quality control rooms.
Q: What is the process for changing the abrasion wheels and weights?
A: Simply open the safety-interlocked door, remove the sample holder, and slide out the abrasion wheel. Replace with a compatible wheel type (CS-10, H-18, or H-22) as required. Standard weights are easy to mount on the holder to adjust test loads without special tools.
Q: How does the safety interlock function enhance user protection?
A: The door safety interlock prevents the tester from operating if the access door is open, significantly reducing the risk of accidental contact with moving parts during testing or setup.
