Used to evaluate a material’s resistance to wear, a flat specimen is mounted onto the Rotary Abraser turntable platform that rotates on a vertical axis. As the turntable rotates, contact of the specimen against the sliding rotation of two abrading wheels cause wear while a vacuum system removes loose wear debris during the test. The resulting abrasion marks form a pattern of crossed arcs in a circular band that cover an area approximately 30 cm² .

Used with the Taber Rotary Platform Abraser, two abrasive wheels create the circular wear path recognized as a “Taber test.”The choice of abrading wheels should be based upon the wear the specimen material will be subjected to in actual use.
