- With the TABER® Shear / Scratch Tester, you can evaluate resistance to shearing, scratching, gouging, marring, scraping and engraving on a variety of flat, rigid specimens.
- It may also be used to test the relative homogeneity of materials, the adhesive qualities of protective coatings and the effects of age on similar materials.
- Available in two models:
- Shear / Scratch Tester - Model 550 (115V, 60Hz) - operates at a speed of 0.6 rpm and includes cutting tools S-20 (10120) and 139-55 (15551).
- Shear / Scratch Tester - Model 551 (230V, 50Hz) - operates at a speed of 5 rpm, and includes cutting tools S-20(10120) and 139-56 (10026). This instrument meets ISO, DIN, EN and other European test standards.
- It is a removable scale beam mounted on a pivotal shaft that projects from an adjustable gage block. An adjusting screw permits the height of the pivotal shaft to be raised or lowered, corresponding with the thickness of a test specimen up to 12.7 mm (0.5 inches). This adjustment allows the scale beam to be maintained in a level position in respect to the specimen and turntable. Designed with an integrated bearing, the scale beam can be tilted in a rest position enabling the operator to mount or remove specimens.
- A calibrated sliding weight is mounted on the scale beam. By changing the position of the sliding weight, the load applied by the scratch tip (shear tool) can be adjusted between 0 to 500 grams. A second calibrated weight may be attached to the end of the scale beam, thus increasing the load capacity and changing the scale to 500 - 1000 grams. Engraved graduations are marked on the scale beam representing 10 grams per division.
