Taber Rotary Abrasion Tester
Taber Abrasion Tester (KFG-2062)
In this Taber Abrasion Tester, the Taber abrading wheels produce characteristic rub wear action. Noted as a standard in abrasion and wear testing, this Taber abraser is mounted in a rotating turntable. Specimens are then subjected to the rub-wear action of two abrasive wheels on the Taber Abrasion Tester. Driven by 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. Referenced in numerous international test standards and specification, this Taber Abrasion Tester is an excellent choice. Simple to operate, this Taber Abrasion Tester has been accepted worldwide as a standard for wear and abrasion research, quality and process control, materials evaluation, and product development. Taber Rotary Abrasers are capable of providing reliable data in a matter of minutes, compared to the years that may be required with in-use testing.
Single Platform (KFG-2061)
The Taber Abrasion Tester can be used to perform abrasion and wear testing on virtually any flat specimen. Its field of application has included abrasion and wear testing of painted, lacquered, powder coated, and electroplated surfaces, textile fabrics ranging from sheer silks to heavy upholstery and carpeting, and solid materials such as metals, stone and ceramics. Other materials include paper, glass, plastics, leather, rubber, linoleum, laminates, plus many others.

Deliver reliable data in minutes. Used to evaluate a material’s resistance to wear, a flat specimen is mounted to a turntable platform that rotates on a vertical axis. As the turntable rotates, contact of the specimen against the sliding rotation of two abrading wheels cause wear while a vacuum system removes loose wear debris during the test. The resulting abrasion marks form a pattern of crossed arcs in a circular band that covers an area approximately 30 cm2.
Includes
- LCD operator touch screen
- Quick release wheel mounting hub
- Critical components easy to assemble
- Compact abraser arm assemblies redesigned support frame and housing
- Direct flow vacuum nozzle tips for 8mm and 11mm
- Selectable display options (including language)
- Store test profiles
