Product Description

CCSi designs and manufactures high quality specimen cutting dies completely inhouse at our facility in Akron, OH. Our complete vertical integration allows CCSi to provide exceptional quality dies at competitive prices.

Our process starts with high, quality American made tool steel. We then grind, machine, harden, wire EDM, sharpen, and dimensionally certify the dies. The wire EDM manufacturing process creates perfectly vertical interior walls. This allows the die to be sharpened repeatedly without altering the dimensional characteristics of the sample and provides excellent long term value.

All CCSi dies come with the serial and model number laser engraved for easy identification. Also included is a rugged, foam lined carrying case for protection while the die is not in use.

CCSi manufactures this high quality Specimen Cutting Die for evaluating resistance to abrasion of rubber materials through the measure of volumetric loss of a specimen exposed to the action of a normalized abrasive medium secured to a rotating cylinder, as described in ASTM D5963 ‘Standard Test Method for Rubber Property-Abrasion Resistance (Rotary Drum Abrader)’.

The rotary drum type abrader is commonly referred to as the “DIN Abrader” as it complies with DIN 53516 “Testing of rubber and elastomers; determination of abrasion resistance.” These two test methods are technically identical, and may be used interchangeably.

The test methods require a cylindrical specimen, having a diameter of 16 ± 0.2 mm (0.630 ± 0.008 in.) and a minimum thickness of 6 mm (0.24 in.) be prepared by a hollow drill (circular cutting tool) of the design shown above. The rotational frequency of the drill should be approximately 2.65 rad/s (1000 rpm) for specimens having a durometer hardness of D2240 Type A 50+, higher for softer materials.

This die is equipped with a shank and is intended to be used in drill press.
