The choice of abrading materials should be based upon the wear the
specimen material will be subjected to in actual use. Under ordinary
conditions, a load and abradant combination should run a minimum
number of cycles before the end point occurs. If not, the test may
be too harsh and may not correspond to normal wear.
 Wearaser®
- The standard Taber® Linear Abraser is equipped
to abrade with a Wearaser. Made from the same abrasive Calibrase®
and Calibrade® material as the world famous Taber
Wheels, this abradant is the size and shape of a pencil eraser
and
has approximately ¼" diameter contact patch.
The
Wearaser is available in different levels of abrasiveness
to suit a wide range of material testing applications.
Calibrase
- composed of a resilient material and aluminum
oxide abrasive particles.
- CS-10F
Wearaser [part# 130684] - mild
abrasive action
- CS-10
Wearaser [part# 130685] - mild-medium
abrasive action
- CS-17
Wearaser [part# 130686] - medium-coarse
abrasive action
Calibrade - composed of a non-resilient, vitrified material
and silicon carbide or aluminum oxide abrasive
particles.
- H-10
Wearaser [part# 130694] - fine
abrasive
- H-18
Wearaser [part# 130681] - medium
abrasive
- H-22
Wearaser [part# 130682] - coarse
abrasive
- H-38 Wearaser [part# 130683] - very fine abrasive
S-14
Refacing Strips [part#130687] - Sold in
packages of 50 pieces, the refacing strips are used to redress resilient Wearasers and Weardiscs. Manufactured with a pressure
sensitive adhesive backing, the refacing strips can easily be applied
to flat or contoured surfaces.
Crocking Cloths [part#130811] - This
50 x 50mm pre-cut cloth is typically used to determine the color
fastness of textiles, and requires the Crock Meter Kit.
Jumbo
Wearaser - This is the same as the Wearaser, but
½" in diameter. It requires use with the Jumbo Wearaser Collet Kit.
CS-5 Jumbo Wearaser - This ½" diameter
abradant is manufactured from the same material as Taber's CS-5
felt wheel.
Weardisc
- If you are testing flat specimens and desire a greater contact
patch, the Weardisc should be used. Available in the same levels
of abrasiveness as the Calibrase and Calibrade
Wearasers, this abradant is a 3/4" circular disc that
is 3/16" thick. Taber recommends applying the Weardisc to the
Universal Attachment with pressure sensitive adhesive.
Custom
abradants and configurations - can be developed upon request. CONTACT
