Coefficient of Friction on Surfaces

designed to determine the friction characteristics of materials. Primarily by pulling one surface over another

The Static & Dynamic Friction (or Slip & Friction) Tester has been designed to determine the friction characteristics of materials. Primarily by pulling one surface over another. It is ideally suited where the production of a product relies on Film, Foil, Paper or Board sliding over machinery or another material for packaging purposes.

 The advanced dedicated microprocessor control removes operator variability from the test procedure by controlling dwell time, sled movement etc, thereby giving high accuracy of results for both static and dynamic friction. Designed in accordance with ASTM D1894 And ISO 8295 International test standards, This apparatus can be used with all types of flexible packaging, foils, paper, board, rubber, linoleum, textiles and leather. 180o peel or adhesion tests can also be performed, other attachments to any International test standard are available on request.The on board microprocessor records the normal force required to produce the sliding motion using a very accurate load cell. The results are shown graphically on the PC so that both the static and sliding friction can be observed throughout the test. These results can be printed out via the on board mini printer or downloaded to the computer for analysis in Microsoft Excel.A built in calibration can be carried out at any time by using the calibration kit provided.Standard features includeAdvanced dedicated microprocessor control, Touch membrane keypad for ergonomically simple data entry, Easy to read liquid crystal display, Sequence logic menu auto prompt selection, Built-in test results printer, RS232 output with special data transfer lead and Windows data link PC software, Tabular and graphical statistical analysis, Data file capture, Digital temperature display and control, Auto prompts for test procedures, calibration and test results, Variable speed sled velocity up to 1800 mm/minute, 1 kg load cell, 180?peel attachments for pressure sensitive material, Sleds to ASTM and ISO test standards, Templates to any International test standard supplied to customer's specific requirements, Calibration kit including cord, plug and 500 gram weight, Ambient bed temperature recorded and printed for each individual test, Fully traceable certificate of calibration, Product user manual, CE mark of conformity.Optional accessories availableHeated bed option, Freezer bed option, Larger load cells, Sleds to customers requirements.
