Wheel Sets

TABER® abrading wheels are available in a range of abrasiveness to suit a wide variety of testing applications.

Deciding which abrading wheel is best suited for your application is best determined with preliminary testing on the actual material. The ideal selection criteria is to reproduce, as nearly possible, the wear which the material will be subjected to in actual use.

The composition of TABER® abrading wheels has been carefully chosen and a rigorous quality program maintains the uniformity of the wheels. Wheels are sold in pairs, and shipped in tight-lidded containers to prevent damage. Each wheel is labeled "LEFT HAND (or RIGHT HAND) - THIS SIDE OUT" to assure that the mounting position will be duplicated after the wheels have been removed and later re-installed.

NOTES:
• Shelf life is dependent on proper storage conditions: relative humidity = 50% +/- 5%, temperature = 23° C +/- 2° C.
• The abrasive coefficient can be altered by oil or contaminants. When handling wheels, only touch the sides.

Selecting Wheels: Throughout the years, test procedures have been developed for many different types of products. If you are following a particular standard, please refer to it for the appropriate wheel. The information provided is intended to serve as a guideline only.

TABER® wheels are designed so that the binder material breaks down during use, exposing and creating a new abrading surface. Depending on the abradant type and test specimen, the wheel surface may change (i.e. become clogged) due to the transfer of material from the test specimen to the abrading wheel, and must be cleaned at frequent intervals.

Calibrase® - Resilient wheel comprised of resilient binder and aluminum oxide abrasive or silicon carbide particles. Often used to test rigid specimens.

CS-10F [part# 125321] A mild abrasive wheel designed to operate under loads not exceeding 500 grams.  
CS-10 [part# 125320] A medium abrasive wheel, designed to simulate the abrading action like that of normal handling, cleaning, and polishing. Used to evaluate resistance of wear on materials such as coatings, plastics, textiles, leather and paper products.  
CS-10W [part# 130950] Same as CS-10, but white in color. Especially useful for evaluating transparent materials where color transfer may be a problem. 
CS-17 [part# 125322] These coarse abrasive wheels produce harsher results, like that associated with traffic or "underfoot" wear. Used to test anodized aluminum, ceramics, plastics and enamels.

Calibrade® - Non-resilient wheel composed of vitrified (clay) and silicon carbide or aluminum oxide abrasive particles. Often used to test flexible specimens.

H-38 [part# 125326] Designed to operate under loads not exceeding 500 grams. This fine-grained wheel is principally used for testing woven fabrics.  
H-10 [part# 125323] The abrading action of this wheel makes it ideal for testing steel and ferrous alloys for resistance to abrasion. It is also used to test the effect of hardening and tempering treatments on steel and other ferrous materials. 
H-18 [part# 125324] With medium abrasive properties, this wheel is recommended for abrading rubber (non-tacky), woven textile fabrics, coated fabrics, flexible plastic sheet, and other soft, resilient materials.
H-22 [part# 125325] With the coarse abrasion produced by this wheel, it has been used to test rubber, linoleum, leather, and certain deep pile fabrics (i.e. automobile floor covering).  

Specialty Wheels - Used for special applications.

CS-0 [part# 125344] Rubber - This wheel contains no abrasive grain and is used when a very mild abrasive action is required, and for wet tests. Uses include determining the relative abrasion of dental powder and cream, cleaning powders, and similar compounds. Is also used to apply S-33 or S-42 sandpaper strips.
S-32 [part# 125344] NEMA wheel - same as CS-0. 
CS-5 [part# 125319] Felt - A densely, compacted wool felt wheel. Its principal use is in testing textile fabrics when the service wear requires one fibrous material to rub against another.
S-35 [part# 1253345] Tungsten Carbide -This wheel is manufactured with sharp, helical teeth cut in its periphery (25 per inch set at 45°spiral pitch). Combining both a cutting and tearing action, it provides very severe abrasion for use on resilient materials only (rubber, linoleum, and leather).  
S-39 [part# 125529] Leather - Mounted on a brass hub, leather wheels are used in conjunction with the Taber GRIT FEEDER.
