Steel Wheel Wear Testing Machine
Category：Abrasion Tester
Introduction
The cycloidal pinwheel reducer has the advantages of large reduction ratio, compact structure, smooth transmission and adjustable abrasive flow rate, which can effectively save the amount of abrasive. The testing machine through the gear drive deceleration to steel wheel speed 75r/min, gear drive compared with the belt drive deceleration, smooth, no skid phenomenon, steel wheel rotation by the time relay control, the motor to the predetermined time is also transferred to the test requirements of the speed
The motor stops automatically. The testing machine has the characteristics of reasonable design, simple structure, beautiful appearance, easy operation, smooth rotation, automatic shutdown to meet the test requirements, etc., which is mainly suitable for wear resistance test of cement bricks.
Application
The steel wheel wear testing machine is widely used in materials science and engineering to evaluate the wear characteristics of various materials. It simulates the wear process of materials in actual use by applying friction from a steel wheel under fixed testing conditions. This method effectively simulates the actual performance of materials under friction and wear conditions.
