Product catalog summary
Overview
Taber Industries, with over 75 years of experience in material testing, offers a range of abrading wheels used with the Taber Rotary Platform Abraser. These wheels create a circular wear path known as the 'Taber test,' which is used to evaluate the abrasion resistance of materials.
Specifications
Taber abrading wheels are made from proprietary formulations designed to break down during use, exposing fresh abrasive surfaces. They are available in standardized grades to meet different abrasive action requirements. The choice of wheels depends on the wear the specimen material will experience in actual use.
Types of Abrading Wheels
  • Calibrase Abrading Wheels: Composed of a resilient polymeric binder with aluminum oxide or silicon carbide particles. They include features like an easy-glide wheel hub and are sold in pairs.
  • Calibrade Abrading Wheels: Made with a non-resilient vitrified clay binder and abrasive particles. They are used for more severe abrasion tests.
  • Specialty Wheels and Abradants: Designed for unique or custom applications, including rubber, wool felt, tungsten carbide, and leather wheels.
Usage and Maintenance
The lifespan of Taber wheels depends on factors such as load, surface texture, and frequency of refacing. Specific models have guidelines for maximum load and refacing tools. Proper storage conditions are crucial for maintaining shelf life, with recommended temperature and humidity levels.
Applications
Taber wheels are used to test a variety of materials, including textiles, plastics, metals, and coatings. Each wheel type is suited for specific materials and conditions, with detailed notes on usage and maintenance provided for each model.

Catalog excerpts

Taber Abrading Wheels-1

Engineered for Quality and Reliability Taber Abrading Wheels ® Used with the Taber Rotary Platform Abraser, two abrasive wheels create the circular wear path recognized as a “Taber test.” As specimens are subjected to the rub-wear action of the wheels, the abrasion marks form a pattern of crossed arcs resulting in a circular ring. This process abrades the sample over all angles of grain or weave, and covers an area approximately 30 cm². Taber abrading wheels are manufactured from a proprietary formulation developed and designed by Taber Industries so the binder material breaks down during use, exposing and creating a fresh abrading surface. Taber offers standardized grades of Genuine Taber abrasive wheels, which have been engineered to meet varying requirements of abrasive action. The choice of abrading wheels should be based upon the wear the specimen material will be subjected to in actual use.
