FPS WEAR TESTING SYSTEM（MODEL AB-2012）

OutlineA Lambourn abrasion tester or conventional FPS
tester, which is used for abrasion tests of high polymer
material for such products like tire and belt, controls
slip ratio or speed difference between test piece androad wheel while doing an abrasion test.
AB-2012 FPS Abrasion Tester can perform tests bycontrolling tangential force between the test pieceand the road wheel in addition to the conventional●High repeatability of test conditions with sandpaper
