A new abrasion testing instrument enables a range of physical property tests, including wear, scratching, gouging, rubbing, and color transfer. The device supports adjustable stroke length, speed, and load to match a material’s characteristics and accommodates both flat and contoured specimens.

An intuitive touchscreen interface improves navigation and allows customizable testing options. Test attachments mount securely to the spline shaft, while a precision bearing ensures smooth, free-floating linear motion across the surface under evaluation. Optional weights and attachments allow users to tailor the instrument to specific testing needs.
