The Benz NBS Abrader
meets and exceeds specifications, described in ASTM
D-1630, for abrasion resistance of vulcanized rubber
or other compounds. This abrasion machine consists of
a 6" diameter drum; three arms, pivoted at one
end, with a mass suspended from the other end; three
dial thickness gauges with .001" graduatio
n; an
internal blower and vacuum; a digital cycle counter;
and a controlled abrasive (40 grit, No. 1-1/2 garnet
paper; 6" in width).
- clean,
uncontaminated specimens - internal blower
and vacuum
- precise cycle
measurement - digital display counter
- simple to use -
ready-to-test within minutes
- increase test
volume - three samples tested at once
Benz services and
calibrates every instrument we sell, as well as most
major manufacturers' models.

The new Benz DIN
Abrader accurately and consistently measures the
abrasion resistance of cured rubber compounds,
enabling quality control engineers, purchasing agents
and researchers to compare and verify the durability
of rubber compounds.
The Benz DIN Abrader
offers companies verification of materials abrasion
durability, which is crucial for insuring quality,
comparing suppliers and verifying claims.
The Benz DIN Abrader
removes rubber from a 16mm (5/8") diameter
sample. It allows the abrasion of compounds up to 40m
(36.6 yds.) long, using pretreated sandpaper in an
unusual method that prevents the paper from becoming
clogged with rubber residue.
The amount of pressure
applied to the compound can be adjusted in 5 Newton
increments, up to 20 Newtons, showing the effect on
the compound of different abrasion pressures.
A sample of compound
can also be rotated as it moves across the Benz DIN
Abrader drum, showing the effects of multidirectional
abrasion. Manufacturers of products like tires, hose
or gaskets, for example, can get a true reading of
his compound when actually put to use.
The Benz DIN Abrader
itself measures only 76cm long by 38cm deep and 38cm
high (30"x15"x15") and is constructed
in anodized aluminum and stainless steel with a
plexiglass cover, allowing its operation to be
visible.
At the end of a
testing cycle, which can be less than 40m, The Benz
DIN Abrader can auto-stop. Operation is simple and
quick.
