FT1 Friction Tester

Product catalog summary
Overview: The document is a specification sheet for the FT1 Self-contained Friction Tester, which conforms to international standards such as ASTM D 1894, ISO 8295, and TAPPI T549. It is designed for testing the frictional characteristics of various materials.
Key Features:
  • High Mechanical Stiffness: Utilizes modern linear guide technology and pre-loaded ball screws for high displacement precision.
  • Dedicated Interface: User interface for calculating static and kinetic coefficients of friction, peak, and average load.
  • Wide Speed Range: Operates between 0.01-2023 mm/min (0.0004-80 in/min).
  • Exceptional Load Accuracy: Load accuracy of +/- 0.5% down to 1% of load cell value.
  • Scalability: Can be configured as a 1 kN universal test machine with appropriate grips and fixtures.
Technical Specifications:
  • Minimum Load Cell: 5 N (1.12 lbf)
  • Bed Dimensions: Width 300 mm, Length 600 mm
  • Force Capacity: 1000 N (225 lbf)
  • Crosshead Speed Range: 0.01-2032 mm/min
  • Load Cell Accuracy: +/-0.5% from 1% to 100% of load cell value
  • Operating Temperature: +5 to 35°C (41 to 95°F)
  • Supply Voltage: 115VAC/230VAC, 50-60Hz
Software: The NEXYGENPlus software provides a comprehensive testing and data analysis platform, supporting multiple languages and integrating with Microsoft Office for data export.
Ordering Information: The document provides details on ordering the FT1 model with various configurations, including power cords and load cell options.
Additional Information: The document includes contact details for AMETEK's global offices and highlights other products offered by AMETEK, such as polymer test equipment and texture analyzers.

FT1 Friction Tester-1

Friction Test to ASTM, ISO and TAPPI standards FT1 » Self-contained Friction Tester Conforms to international standards for friction testing including ASTM D 1894, ISO 8295 and TAPPI T549 » High Mechanical Stiffness Modern linear guide technology, pre-loaded ball screws and advanced software compensation ensures high displacement precision » Dedicated Interface The console has a user interface dedicat-ed to performing friction tests, hereunder calculating static coefficient of friction, kinetic coefficient of friction, peak and average load » Wide Speed Range High precision and improved productivity 0.01-2023 mm/min (0.0004-80 in/min) » Exceptional Load Accuracy Load accuracy of +/- 0.5% down to 1% of load cell value provides high dynamic range » Scalable The FT1 can also be configured and used as a 1 kN universal test machine with the appropriate grips and fixtures and by using our acclaimed NEXYGENPlus software. Coefficient of Friction, static and kinetic, is used in a variety of materials from lubricants, to films to household items (ceramic tiles) to determine the frictional characteristics of a material. The FT1 is a bench mounted, single lead screw dedicated friction tester. A friction table is mounted directly on the machine, with a full set of accessories included to perform tests conforming to the re-quirements of ASTM D1894, ISO 8295 and TAPPI T549. The tester includes these standards as user configurable tests, with a further seven available for user custom configuration. User configurable test screens allow for final movement limits, calculation limits (relaͭtive and absolute), sled weights and dimensions. Friction table and load cell included Օ Dedicated user interface for friction Static coefficient of friction Օ Kinetic coefficient of friction Peak and average load Օ Saves up to 600 test sample results Plug 'n' Play, automatic identification of YLC series load cells Օ YLC Series load cell options:10N, 50N and 100N (Accuracy 0.5% of reading 9001 Manufacturer Spcification Sheet SS-FT1 VMETEK TEST & CALIBRATION INSTRUMENTS
