Taber Abraser 1700 – Single Head

The Taber Rotary Abrasion Tester is mounted to a rotating turntable with single or dual-platform options, specimens are subjected to the rub-wear action of one or two abrasive wheels depending on the model. Driven by the test sample, the wheels produce abrasion marks that form a pattern of crossed arcs over a circular ring approximately 30 square centimeters. This reveals abrasion resistance at all angles relative to the weave or grain of the material.
