Accessories
Abrading Wheels
Changing the abraser wheels and change the test! – Selecting the Abrading Wheels
Taber® Abrading Wheels are available in five levels of abrasiveness to suit a wide range of material testing applications.
Wool, felt or plain rubber wheels test delicate materials or abrasiveness of materials such as dental powders.
Wheels featuring abrasive particles in a resilient matrix of rubber or a hard matrix of vitrified clay are suitable for stiffer materials.

Multi-Media Attachment
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. Part Number: ST985500 |

Sample Cutter
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. Part Number: ST985000 |

Grit Feeder Attachment
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. An alignment block is incorporated into the base of Model 255, to ensure the correct location of the grit feeder in relation to the Abraser. Both models are supplied complete with:
Part Number: ST980503-1 Model 155 |

Quiet Cabinet
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 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. Part Number Description |
