  1. Inclined Plane Friction Tester Hanatek

    Inclined Plane Friction Tester Hanatek
    The Hanatek Inclined Plane Friction Tester is an inexpensive but extremely accurate instrument for determining the static friction coefficient of flat surfaces. Designed for use in the packaging industry to measure the static slip of unprinted carton board, printed cartons or plastic films and their coatings, the instrument is suitable for measuring other products including leather, textiles and paper. Results are displayed in both coefficient of friction and slip angle with batch analysis and can be output to the optional Hanatek results printer. The operation of the device is very simple, simply cut two samples attach one to the platen and one to the measurement sled. The instrument will raise the platen until the static slip force value is determined. The instrument displays the results in coefficient of friction and slip angle. For measuring dynamic friction please refer to our Advanced Friction Tester. This instrument allows you to do multiple tests with statistical analysis, simply measure static coefficient of friction and provide accurate slip measurement readouts to 0.1°. It has a precision servo motor for repeatable readings, an auto stop and auto-platen return and is available with a choice of sleds for relevant ASTM/TAPPI standards. The results are displayed in COF and slip and angle with the option of a results label printer.
