Catalog excerpts

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

LLOYDW materials testing m I % The machine is operated from the intgral control console, which enables tests to be quickly and easily set up and performed. Large, positive feedback membrane switches with tactile and audible feedback enables test parameters to be established in conjunction with the backlit 4 line liquid crystal alphanumeric display. The machine may be programmed to perform up to 10 different tests and the statistics for each type of test are automatically calculated including static coefficient of friction, kinetic coefficient of friction, peak load and average load. Up to...
