The linear motion arm has an adjustable stroke length, variable to accommodate virtually any required contact surface area of a test specimen. The precision bearing on the splined shaft allows the abrading head to ‘float’, freely following the specimen surface whether contoured, irregular, or flat.

The test parameters are stroke length, speed, load, and number of test cycles; each of which can be altered to simulate actual use conditions, establish QC control limits, QA guidelines, or for empirical study

can be altered to simulate actual use conditions, establish QC control limits, QA guidelines, or for empirical study.

The test counter is programmable from 1—999,999 test cycles. It features an LCD back lit display for improved visibility.

There are two user selectable modes: RUN, for performing tests, and REFACE, which allows for the refacing of the abradant without having to reprogram the number of cycles.

Scratch Kit [P/N 130575]
The Scratch Kit allows you to perform single pass or multiple pass scratch testing. Included are a 7x measuring magnifier, the attachment, and two conical diamond tools:

 

 

• Model 139—55 with 90°, 3 mil, radius point;
• Model 139—56 with 90°, 3.5 mil, radius point.

The diamond scratch tool, Model 139—159 is also available, and sold separately. The Model 139—159 features a cutting edge that is the converging point from three sides and edges of a perfect cube.
Also available are:

Universal Kit [P/N 130572]
This attachment allows the simulation of actual use conditions. The performance of ‘real world’ testing is accomplished using your abradant material, or one of the many Taber® abradants. The Universal Kit is ideal for testing on flat surfaces.

 

 

Crock Meter Kit [P/N 130570]
The Crock Meter Kit is typically used to evaluate color fastness (transfer) on textiles, cellulose fiber derivatives, and other materials. The kit includes a 0.625 inch (15.875 mm) acrylic ‘finger’, clamp ring, and package of crocking cloths.

Also available are:

• Replacement Acrylic Crock Finger [P/N 130818];
• Replacement Crocking Cloths [P/N 130811].

 

Flat Specimen Table [P/N 130809]
A critical aspect in testing with the Taber® Linear Abraser is securing the specimen during the test. The flat table (shown on the left) is designed for rigid, flat specimens. They are mounted to the table using four adjustable mounting brackets. A leveling bubble and adjustable table supports are used to assure that the table surface is parallel to the work area.
Specimen Tables of many other configurations are available, or can be manufactured to suit a specific application.

 

Universal Specimen Table [P/N 131734]
The PanaVise® flexible mounting system enables the testing of all shapes and sizes of specimens. The PanaVise® is attached to the Linear Abraser to ensure a stable test platform. A low profile mount includes the patented ‘split ball’ design, allowing the vise head to be positioned on the x, y and z axis. The specimen can be tilted, turned or rotated to accommodate virtually any specimen configuration. Included are the base mount; low profile base; three interchangeable heads (vise head, flat table, wide jaw vise); and spacer.

 

• Standard Grip Head for the Universal Specimen Table [P/N 131724]
  The nylon jaws of the Standard Head for the Universal Specimen Table open 2¼ inches (57.1 mm). The firm grip provides secure support. It is designed to avoid undue stress and strain on the specimen, providing reproducible and repeatable test determinations.

 

Wide Grip Head for the Universal Specimen Table
The ribbed, neoprene pads are reversible. The flat surface firmly secures standard specimens, while the reverse side ‘V’ holds cylindrically or spherically shaped test pieces. The jaws open to a full 6 inches (152.4 mm).

 

Fixturing Head for the Universal Specimen Table [P/N 131725]
The flat surface of this flexible fixture is 5.375 inches (136.5 mm) in diameter. Six slots and six ¼ inch (6.35 mm) holes, permit specimens to be attached easily.

 

Vacuum Vise [P/N 131062]
This versatile attachment has adjustable jaws that open a full 2½ inches (63.5 mm) to accommodate contoured specimens or custom fixtures. An integral vacuum base locks the vise to the work surface.

 

45º Vacuum Vise [P/N 131063]
The adjustable clamping jaws open to nearly 6 inches (152.4 mm) and can be pivoted at an angle of up to 45º. An integral vacuum base locks the vise to the work surface.

 

 

Splined Shafts
The standard 10 mm Ø splined shaft is 300 mm in length and has a maximum load of 1,600 g (1.6 kg). It is recommended to use the either the splined shaft of 250 mm in length or of 200 mm in length for heavier loads.

When tests require a lighter load, the splined shaft which is 8 mm Ø and 150 mm in length is recommended. An adaptor is included to mount this shaft in place of the standard shaft.
