What is abrasion testing machine
Abrasion testing machine is a special equipment used to test the wear resistance of materials. It is widely used in rubber, plastics, coatings, textiles, metal and other industries. By simulating the friction and wear conditions in actual use, the wear testing machine can evaluate the durability and service life of materials, providing an important basis for product quality control and research and development.
1. Working principle of abrasion testing machine

The abrasion testing machine makes the test sample contact the friction material (such as sandpaper, grinding wheel or other standard friction media) through rotation, reciprocation or linear motion, and rub it under a certain load. Quantify the wear resistance of a material by measuring the mass loss, thickness change, or surface topography change of the sample.
2. Main types of wear testing machines
| Type | Features | Application areas |
|---|---|---|
| Rotary wear testing machine | Rub the sample by rotating the friction wheel, suitable for rubber, plastic and other materials | Tires, soles, seals |
| Reciprocating wear testing machine | Simulates friction in actual use through reciprocating motion, suitable for coatings, metals | Automotive paint, metal plating |
| Linear abrasion testing machine | Test the wear resistance of materials through linear friction, suitable for textiles and paper | Clothing, packaging materials |
3. Key technical parameters of abrasion testing machine
| parameters | Description | Typical value |
|---|---|---|
| Load range | The pressure exerted on the sample during testing | 1N-100N |
| friction speed | Relative motion speed of friction material and sample | 10-500rpm |
| test cycle | The running time of a single test | 1-1000 times |
| Accuracy | Accuracy of mass or thickness measurements | ±0.1mg |
4. Application fields of wear testing machine
Abrasion testing machines play an important role in multiple industries:
