Description
The Taber Linear Abraser 5750 is a versatile and precise instrument designed for evaluating wear resistance, scratch resistance, and overall durability of materials and finished products. Ideal for flat, convex, or concave surfaces, it accommodates a wide range of materials including metals, paints, coatings, plastics, and polymers. The instrument allows testing in both wet and dry conditions, making it suitable for real-world simulation of wear, color transfer (crocking), coin scrape, and other durability challenges. Its free-floating abrasion system ensures the test attachment follows the contours of the specimen, guaranteeing consistent and reliable results.
The Linear Abraser features a horizontal arm that reciprocates in a linear motion, with a precision bearing spline shaft enabling vertical movement for uniform pressure application. Users can select from eleven stroke lengths (0.2” to 4.0”), six preset stroke speeds, or adjust continuously from 2 to 75 cycles per minute. Test loads are variable from 350 to 2,100 grams, with optional weight discs for extended ranges. Additional attachments allow customization for specialized tests such as pencil hardness, chemical rub, and mar testing. The built-in laser alignment guide ensures accurate specimen positioning, making the Taber Linear Abraser a robust, adaptable solution for comprehensive material durability testing.
