Taber Linear Abraser
Application
The Taber Linear Abraser (Model 5750) is designed to evaluate abrasion resistance, scratch resistance, and color transfer performance on a wide range of materials. Its linear reciprocating motion makes it ideal for products with flat, curved, contoured, or polished surfaces.
Typical applications include:
Plastic coatings on consumer electronics such as computer mice, keyboards, and handheld devices
Automotive interior materials and decorative trim components
General plastics, coatings, painted surfaces, and printed patterns
Rubbing color fastness and friction decoloring tests
Surface wear durability and repeated rubbing resistance studies
The instrument supports both wet and dry abrasion testing, making it suitable for R&D laboratories, quality inspection departments, and material performance evaluations.
Standards
The Taber Linear Abraser supports and is widely used in the following test methods and industrial standards:
ASTM abrasion and scratch testing methods
ISO paint and coating scratch-resistance methods
Automotive OEM durability standards for interior components
General laboratory wear, scratch, and friction testing specifications
