Rotary Abrasion Tester

The rotary abrasion tester, commonly referred to as Taber abraser or Taber abrader, is a popular set of testing equipment for evaluating the wear resistance of a wide spectrum of materials, including fabrics, coatings, laminates, leather, paper, glass, carpeting, ceramics, natural rubber, etc.

Working Principle of the Rotary Abrasion Tester
Our Taber rotary abraser sets a specimen onto a turntable platform first, and then two abrading wheels, which are applied at a specific pressure, are lowered onto the surface of specimen. As the turntable rotates, the wheels are driven by the sample in opposite directions about a horizontal axis so as to abrade the specimen.

Standard Accessories of the Rotary Abrasion Tester
The Taber abraser is supplied with a full range of auxiliary weights, specimen holders, abrasive wheels, wheel refacer and vacuum unit.
