Taber® Abrasion Tester Model 5135: Description
Taber® Abraser Model 5135 Taber® Industries
CCSi features this high quality Taber® Abraser for evaluating resistance to abrasion of a wide variety of materials through the measure of volumetric loss of a specimen exposed to the action of a normalized abrasive medium secured to a rotating disc.
The unique ‘X’ pattern of Taber® Abrasers is produced by the rotary action of the abrasive wheels. The wear action occurs as the wheels are turned by the rotating specimens. The axis of rotation of the wheels is displaced from that of the turntable, creating an abrasive ‘sliding’ action as the specimen rotates.
An area of 300 mm² (4.5 in²) is subjected to the abrasive action, and a complete circle on the specimen surface is abraded at all angles and direction of grain or weave, effectively simulating ‘real life’ conditions.
This high quality, durable instrument determines the precise point at which a specimen shows unacceptable wear. The Taber® tests are highly reproducible and repeatable and can be performed on myriad materials by simply changing the abrasive media or employing the available accessories!
Taber® Abrasers, by employing the available abrasive media and accessories, meet or exceed the requirements for many abrasion tests such as those described in ASTM, ISO, DIN, JIS, SAE, MIL, DoD, and a host of other national and international specification issuing organizations. A partial list of applicable test methods is available on the Abrasion Test Methods page.
Taber® Abrasion Tester Model 5135: New Features
The Model 5135 Taber Abraser is now available as 115 VAC / 60Hz, switchable to 220 VAC /50Hz and offers many additional new features.

New Features of the Taber® Model 5135 .
Notable improvements to the Model 5135 Taber Abraser include:
  1. 115 VAC / 60Hz, switchable to 220 VAC /50Hz now allows for the test speed to be selectable at 60 RPM (115 VAC / 60Hz) or 72 RPM (220 VAC /50Hz) which previously required that Models 5130 (60 RPM) & 5131 (72 RPM) be ordered separately;
  2. Quick Release Mounting Hub is now standard on all abrasers. An expanding collet hub with push-button operation permits quick wheel mounting without the need of a locking nut. A beveled retaining nut provides a positive locking force on the wheel hub retaining lip making certain that the wheels remain securely fastened until disengaged. This feature results in increased clearance for the vacuum pick-up nozzle and offers a larger viewing area for the test specimen;
  3. The Digital User Interface is an easy-to-use membrane panel with tactile feel buttons and a four line digital display. Simplified on-screen instructions allow the operator to change the test parameters via the MENU button. Internal memory stores the data;
  4. Four preset cycle buttons conveniently allow the operator to set commonly used test cycles. It also allows for the use of stored parameters previously entered by the operator;
  5. A precision vacuum nozzle adjustment is easily accessible and controls the raising or lowering of the vacuum pick-up nozzle.
