Friction Testers

Friction testers or friction testing is widely used in packaging industry for measuring the slippyness of a product with the aim of predicting of feeding and running speed on an automatic gluing, erecting, filling or packaging line and also in other industries which test for slip includes the paper industry, for floor manufacturers etc. These friction testers provide accurate measurement of static and kinetic coefficient of fraction which is especially applied in the packaging and printing industries have wide range of products like blown film, plastic sheet, paper and coatings etc. The other name for friction testers are peel testers which are used for determining the peel strength of various materials including adhesives to plastic film and also these testing systems utilize various technologies used for applying on a range of tensile sources.

The important features of these friction testers are that these are engineered for precision and are built for durability. These friction testers are well equipped with software or touch panel and are hold that much flexibility to change as it is designed as per usability. The type of friction testers includes advanced mechanical testing systems which are known for the reliability, enhanced overall experience for the operator. The most common uses of these friction testers are for tensile and for compression testing as these can be performed on bend, peel, shear, tear and cyclic tests. Wear and friction testers another type which is used for analyzing wear and friction characteristics of the sliding contact as it can be operated under both dry and lubricated conditions. For this type of friction tester digital display boards are provided for the parameters of this instrument.

Another important instrument which is very much related with this instrument friction testers is called as co efficient of friction testers which are considered to be simple instrument which reveals stack ability of plastic films which help to prevent accidents due to friction in packaging, loading and transportation of materials.
