Elcometer 5135 5155 Taber Rotary Abrasion Testers

This attachment is used to recreate contact surface wear caused by liquids, fluids and powders. Measures the abrasivity of materials including paints, pigments, adhesives, sealants, pastes, additives etc. If you require either the Elcometer Taber® 5135 or Taber® 5155 ready assembled with the Multi-Media Attachment, please contact Elcometer.

The Model 5000 Sample Cutter will cut a precise 106mm circular sample with a 6.35mm centre hole to prepare your specimens for use with the Elcometer Taber® Abrasers. An easy counter-clockwise cutting motion allows you to cut a variety of materials. Optional pads, which allow cutting thicknesses of 0.03mm to 6.35mm, are also available.

Provides a unique method to evaluate 3-body abrasion resistance on a variety of materials. Aluminium oxide grit particles are evenly distributed on to the specimen wear path and pass under a pair of leather wheels. This loose grit acts as an abradant aiding the action that contributes to the physical breakdown of materials.

The Abraser Vacuum is attached to the grit feeder and continuously removes both abraded material and used grit.

The Grit distributor and vacuum removal nozzle heights are adjusted using a thumbscrew.

Two versions are available, Model 155 and Model 255. The Model 155 uses an  alignment guide screw to set the position of the instrument.  The model 255 has an alignment block incoporated into the base to ensure the correct location of the grit feeder in relation to the Abraser.

Both models are supplied complete with:
S-39 Leather wheel set
S-38 Standardisation Plates
S-41 #240 Aluminium oxide
Alignment guide and mounting hardware

Comprising an upper and lower unit, this solid wood cabinet is suitable for use in a laboratory environment and achieves an approximate 20% reduction in operating sound level.

The top cabinet provides a convenient, dust-free work space for the Abraser and features a Plexiglas® viewing window to monitor testing and a removable front for easy transfer of the Abraser in and out of the cabinet.

The base cabinet holds the Abraser Vacuum Unit and includes an inbuilt exhaust system for effective air circulation.

Both cabinets offer ample room to store test specimens, supplies and accessories. The Quiet Cabinet can be purchased as a complete unit or the top and base separately. The lower cabinet exhaust system is available for 230V/50Hz or 115V/60Hz.

A cost effective method that enables users to verify that an instrument is in calibration, or requires attention. Each kit is individually calibrated providing a reliable check system.

Kit allows you to verify:

• Longitudinal alignment of abraser arm
• Transverse alignment of abraser arm
• Wheel tracking and wear pattern
• Bearing integrity (tracking pattern
• compliance)
• Vacuum nozzle orifice size
• Minimum vacuum nozzle suction force
• S-30 Weartrac precision wheels (x1 set)

Supplied complete with:

• S-45 Wheel tracking cards (x15)
• Vacuum nozzle suction and
• orifice gauge
• Vacuum nozzle O-ring
• Dual unit vacuum plug
• Taber® Abraser clean-up hose

See last page of the datasheet to choose from a wide variety of abrading wheels and abraser accessories to simulate real-life wear conditions.
