Specifications

The Coefficient of Friction Tester is used to measure the static and kinetic friction of sheeted material.

  

This extremely easy to use instrument has been manufactured to determine the static and kinetic friction of plastic film, sheeting, paper and other sheeted material.

The Coefficient of Friction Tester can measure Static COF from a resting position and continue to move testing surfaces in a relative motion to give an accurate kinetic COF result.

This COF Tester employs a stationary sled with a moving plane. The test head automatically returns to the start position after testing is complete.

With the option of a computer software package to record data, the IDM COF Tester has proven itself to be a fast, reliable and accurate method of determining friction in various areas of manufacturing.
