FPS Wear Testing Sytem

Model : AB-2012

Rubber and Plastics
DYNAMIC DURABILITY
Abrasion/Wear

In addition to the conventional slip ratio control, the AB-2012 FPS Wear Testing System controls by the frictional force (tangential force) generated between the sample and the abrasive wheel in order to improve the correlation with the actual wear of rubber products. It is a newly developed wear tester that has made it possible.

When performing wear tests on polymer materials used for tires, belts, etc., the Lambourn wear testers and conventional FPS testers use slip ratio control that gives a certain difference in the rotation speed between the sample and the abrasive wheel.

In the past, in order to evaluate wear by frictional energy that can correlate with the actual rubber products, it was necessary to obtain and evaluate the frictional energy from the results of the slip ratio control tester under multiple conditions.
This equipment has succeeded in reproducing the conditions of the actual rubber products with higher accuracy by directly controlling the frictional force.

It can perform friction force regulation tests which were not available with conventional abrasion testers.
Real-time measurement and feed-back of test piece diameter for accurate speed and slip ratio control.
Control of abrasive wheel temperature without using a slip ring. (RT＋10℃ to 80℃ as standard).
Improved test piece clamping system with a ratchet.
Use of the accurately controlled talc feeding system for adhesion preventing. (Japan patent no. 4559617)
High repeatability of test conditions with Safety Walk used as abrasive.
Fully automatic tests of 56 test pieces (samples of 50-mm diameter). (Fully automatic tests of 24 test pieces (samples of 70-mm diameter): optional.)
The brush cleans the surface of the abrasive wheel to keep the conditions constant.
Friction energy analysis is available with the exclusive software.
