Abrasion Wear Test Machine Solutions for Laboratories and Production
Our wear testing systems evaluate abrasion resistance across polymers, rubber, coatings, textiles, metals, and composites. They deliver reliable, repeatable results for quality control labs and production environments.
Built on extensive R&D, ISO 9001 processes, and in-house machining, these testers provide precise loading, stable speeds, and traceable calibration. Configurations include rotary (Taber), DIN drum, linear/RCA, wet, and dry sand/rubber wheel. We supply fixtures, consumables, and lifecycle service.

How the Testers Work
Each system simulates controlled friction between a specimen and an abrasive medium (wheels, sheets, slurry, or sand) under defined load, speed, and cycle count. Results report mass, volume, or thickness loss to compare materials, validate coatings, optimize formulations, and assess durability.

Abrasion Wear Test Models
Rotary Abraser (Taber-Type)
A lab-standard platform with dual abrasive wheels, selectable loads and speeds, and debris vacuum for consistent test paths and precise wear index.
Key Features
- Typical loads: 250–1000 g per arm; dual-arm
- Speeds: 60–75 rpm selectable
- Wheels: CS-10, CS-17, H-18, H-22 and equivalents
- Cycle counter, programmable stop, vacuum port
- Outputs: wear index (mg/1000 cycles) and volume loss with density input
Applications and Standards
Plastics, coatings, flooring, automotive trim per ASTM D4060/D3884/D1044, ISO 5470-1/9352, ASTM D3389.
DIN Abrasion Tester (ISO 4649 / ASTM D5963)
Purpose-built for rubber and elastomers, using a rotating drum and standardized abrasive sheet to measure density-corrected volume loss.
Features
- Standard abrasive sheet with controlled renewal
- Cylindrical or prismatic specimens; density input
- Test travel and drum speed per ISO 4649; automatic counter
- Optional compensation for paper wear
Applications
Tire compounds, seals, belts, hoses, shoe soles, wire and cable jackets.
Linear/RCA Abrasion Tester
A linear motion system applies a defined force as abrasive media traverses a controlled stroke—ideal for thin films, printed graphics, touch panels, and plated layers.
Features
- Adjustable stroke and speed; constant normal force
- Interchangeable tips/media (eraser, felt, fabric, sandpaper)
- Cycle counter, programmable endpoints; multi-track fixtures
- Optional correlation to thickness or gloss change
Applications
Electronics housings, interior trim, appliance panels, logos, decorative coatings.
Wet Abrasion System
Simulates lubricated or slurry exposure found in chemicals, packaging, and under-the-hood environments.
Features
- Controlled fluid delivery and bath temperature
- Corrosion‑resistant materials and sealed enclosures
- Programmable load/speed with safety interlocks
Dry Sand/Rubber Wheel Tester (ASTM G65)
Evaluates erosive abrasion using dry sand against a rotating rubber wheel; suited to coatings, metals, and filled polymers.
Features
- Sand feed control; wheel hardness verification
- Load and speed control; mass loss measurement
- Optional data logging and balance integration
Core Advantages for Wear Testing
- Precision manufacturing for tight tolerances and repeatable paths
- Standards expertise, traceable calibration, and verification kits
- Custom fixtures, extended load ranges, data interfaces, safety enclosures
- Application guidance, installation, training, spare parts, and ongoing service
Key Features and Options
- Wide load/speed ranges; programmable cycles and profiles
- Tool‑less media changeover; debris management and enclosures
- Safety guards, interlocks, emergency stops, overload protection
- Optional environmental chamber integration for temperature/humidity
- Sample preparation presses and cutting dies
Selection Guide
- Material: rubber (DIN), general materials/coatings (rotary), thin films/graphics (linear/RCA), slurry or lubricated (wet), particle erosion (dry sand/rubber wheel)
- Standards: confirm method and required wheels/media
- Throughput: manual vs automated changeover; single vs multi‑station
- Data: weight/volume loss, thickness/gloss change, LIMS connectivity
- Environment: dust control, fluid containment, temperature/humidity
Installation, Training, and Service
Field engineers support site readiness, installation, and method setup. Operator training, maintenance guidance, and periodic calibration keep systems in spec and data audit‑ready.
Accessories and Consumables
- Wheels: CS and H series, rubber wheels, specialty media
- Certified abrasive sheets and papers
- Specimen clamps, vacuum kits, splash guards, slurry tanks
- Calibration masses, verification kits, reference coupons
