Taber 5770 Linear Abraser
The Taber 5770 Linear Abraser is a versatile, precision instrument designed to test abrasion, wear, and surface damage on both flat and contoured materials.
Description
Engineered for quality and reliability, the Taber 5770 Linear Abraser provides an advanced solution for evaluating surface durability. It uses a precision spline shaft with a free-floating test system that follows the contours of your specimen. With adjustable stroke length, speed, and load, the Linear Abraser allows you to replicate real-world wear conditions on a variety of materials. A large selection of test attachments and standardized abrasives makes it ideal for testing abrasion, scratch, mar, gouge, rub, and other surface damage, in both wet and dry conditions.
