C0008 - Coefficient of Friction Tester

Product details

This extremely easy to use IDM Coefficient of Friction Tester is used 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 (peak) from a resting position and continue to move 

testing surfaces in a relative motion to give an accurate kinetic COF (dynamic) result. This COF 

Tester employs a stationary sled with a moving plane. The test plane 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 coefficient of friction in various areas of manufacturing.

                               Model C0008-VS

The C0008-VS model has all the same features as the C0008 with the addition of speed 

from 50 – 300mm/min using a stepper motor for acuate variable speed control. It also has

 a home setting so that once you have completed a test and unloaded your sample it will 

return to the start point “HOME" ready for the next sample. All the motion run controls are 

via a LCD touch screen for stop, start, home and speed changes. This COF tester is the next 

level in accurate and precise COF measurement for static and kinetic results, as with the C0008 

Peel Testing and Heated Platen Testing can also be carried out on this model.
