Coefficient Of Friction Tester - Variable Speed With Heated Platen

idm’s coefficient of friction testers have proven to be a fast, reliable and accurate method of determining coefficient of friction.

our range of cof testers are used to determine the static and kinetic friction  of plastic film, sheeting, paper and other sheeted material coatings.  their small bench top design makes it easy to use in a  laboratory or setup out on the production floor for offline testing as needed.

with variable speed, touch screen operation & in-built heated platen, model c0055-m3 is most ideal for plastic film testing.  the temperature range on this unit is between ambient to 170°c, allowing for testing at elevated temperatures.  this model also comes with the option of computer software to record data.

c0055-m1 specifications:

• touch screen operation
• force range: 1-10n (1 x 0.001kgf)
• friction function: static & kinetic
• speed: variable between 50 - 300mm/min
• sled size: 63mm x 63mm
• heated plane: 150mm x 300mm (option to operate cof testing at ambient or heated temperature)
• travel distance: 220mm
• communication: usb
• cutting templates included: 1 x sled, 1 x moving plane

the c0055 range also has the option of a computer software package to record data including:

• dynamic real-time display 
• statistical analysis
• results averaging  
• screen print out 
• data export to excel
• test identification entry
• peak force value 
• static point 
• kinetic average
• adjustable data collection limits
