Linear Abradants - Taber

Premium Abradants for Linear and Reciprocating Abraser Testing

The abradant supplied with the Taber® Linear Abraser and Reciprocating Abraser is referred to as a Wearaser®. Comprised of silicon carbide or aluminum oxide abrasive particles embedded in a resilient or vitrified (clay) binder, the Wearasers are designed so the binder material breaks down during use - thus exposing and creating a new abrading surface.

Utilizing a proprietary formulation developed by Taber Industries, two general types of Wearasers are offered - Calibrase® (resilient identified by “CS” reference) and Calibrade® (non-resilient identified by “H” reference). With standardized grades to meet varying requirements of abrasive action, many different types of material surfaces may be evaluated.

Product Configurations

The standard Wearaser has a diameter of 1/4” and is the size and shape of a pencil eraser. This is secured in place with the Wearaser collet with approximately 0.100” exposed for testing. Two other abradant configurations are also offered. The Jumbo Wearaser has a 1/2” diameter (requires the Jumbo Wearaser collet assembly) and the Weardisc™ is a 3/4” diameter by 3/16” thick (requires the Universal Attachment).

Calibrase Wearasers & Weardiscs

CS-6 Calibrase - Resilient Wearaser that produces slight abrading action. CS-8 Calibrase - Resilient Wearaser that produces mild abrading action, designed to operate under light loads. CS-10F Calibrase - Resilient Wearaser that produces moderate abrading action, designed to operate under light loads. CS-10 Calibrase - Resilient Wearaser that produces medium abrading action. CS-17 Calibrase - Resilient Wearaser that produces harsh abrading action. CS-19 Calibrase - Resilient Wearaser that produces severe abrading action.

Calibrade Wearasers & Weardiscs

H-10 Calibrade - A non-resilient, vitrified Wearaser that provides harsh abrading action. H-18 Calibrade - A non-resilient, vitrified Wearaser that provides a severe abrading action. H-22 Calibrade - A non-resilient, vitrified Wearaser produces a extreme abrading action. H-38 Calibrade - A non-resilient, vitrified abrading wheel that provides a medium abrading action. Comprised of very fine abrasive particles, similar to a polishing stone.

Specialty Wearasers

CS-2 Calibrase - Resilient Wearaser that has no abrasive material. CS-5 Calibrase - Resilient Wearaser that is comprised of densely compacted felt. CS-7 Calibrase - Similar to CS-5 but slightly harder for increased abrasion. H1 Felt - Resilient Wearaser that is comprised of densely compacted felt according to DIN 61200. Eraser - According to MIL 12397. Resilient Wearaser that produces very mild abrading action.
