Grit Feeder Attachment
| Part Number: |
Model 155 |
ST980503-1 |
|
Model 255 |
ST980503-2 |
Provides a unique method to evaluate 3-body abrasion resistance on a variety of materials. Aluminium oxide grit particles are evenly distributed on to the specimen wear path and pass under a pair of leather wheels. This loose grit acts as an abradant aiding the action that contributes to the physical breakdown of materials.
The Abraser Vacuum is attached to the grit feeder and continuously removes both abraded material and used grit.
The Grit distributor and vacuum removal nozzle heights are adjusted using a thumbscrew. Two versions are available, Model 155 and Model 255. The Model 155 uses an alignment guide screw to set the position of the instrument. An alignment block is incorporated into the base of Model 255, to ensure the correct location of the grit feeder in relation to the Abraser.
Both models are supplied complete with:
- S-39 Leather wheel set
- S-38 Standardisation Plates
- S-41 #240 Aluminium oxide
- Alignment guide and mounting hardware

Sample Cutter
The Model 5000 Sample Cutter will cut precise 106mm (4.2”) circular sample with a 6.35mm (0.25”) centre hole to prepare your specimens for use with the Elcometer Taber® Abrasers.
An easy counter-clockwise cutting motion allows you to cut a variety of materials. Optional pads, which allow cutting thicknesses of 0.03mm (0.001”) to 6.35mm (0.25”), are also available. |
