rca tape scroll abrasion testing machine
Application
The RCA Tape Scroll Abrasion Tester is designed to evaluate the abrasion and wear resistance of surfaces, particularly painted or plated organic finishes, foil, and inked key pad lettering. It is widely used by manufacturers of silicone keypads, membrane switches, and other electronic components, as well as in the automotive, appliance, cell phone, plastics, and coating industries. By simulating repetitive friction, it helps assess the durability and longevity of materials under real-world handling conditions.
Standards
This tester is commonly applied in laboratories that follow industry and international testing standards for surface durability and abrasion resistance, including:
ISO 5470: Rubber- or plastics-coated fabrics — Determination of abrasion resistance
ASTM D4060: Standard Test Method for Abrasion Resistance of Organic Coatings
DIN 53516: Rubber abrasion resistance testing
GB/T 20991: Chinese standard for wear resistance of coatings and materials
QB/T 2726: Chinese standard for electronic component surface testing

FAQ
1. What is the RCA Tape Scroll Abrasion Tester?
A laboratory instrument that evaluates the surface wear and abrasion resistance of materials, especially coatings, inks, and keypads, by rubbing tape or paper under controlled load and cycles.
2. What materials can it test?
Painted or plated organic finishes, foils, silicone keypads, membrane switches, plastics, and other delicate or coated surfaces.
3. Why is it important?
It ensures surface durability and appearance, helping manufacturers prevent premature wear and maintain product quality.
4. How does it work?
The tester scrolls uncoated paper or tape over the sample for a preset number of revolutions under specific loads. Wear is then assessed visually or through repeatable measurement standards.
5. What loads are available?
55 g, 175 g, and 275 g, suitable for both soft and hard materials.
6. How is wear measured?
The digital counter tracks the number of revolutions, and a magnifying glass allows detailed observation of surface wear and damage.
7. Who uses this tester?
It is widely used in electronics, automotive, appliance, plastics, and coating industries for quality control, research, and material development.
