The Universal Wear Tester (UWT) is used to evaluate the wear and abrasion resistance of fabrics for a variety of applications, including footwear, upholstery, apparel, cars, and many other areas. It is intended to carry out numerous tests with five various possible setups and is also known as a Stoll Quartermaster Abrasion Tester.
The Global Universal Wear Tester Market accounted for $XX Billion in 2022 and is anticipated to reach $XX Billion by 2030, registering a CAGR of XX% from 2023 to 2030.
The Eyre/BICERI Universal Wear Machine, which is how the TE 99 was formerly known, is used all over the globe. Whether testing materials in pin on disc or pin on plate settings, the Universal Wear Machine is appropriate.
The TE 99 may conduct tests in accordance with the specifications outlined in ASTM G 99, DIN 50 324, and ISO/DIS 7148-2 because it has a Class 1 contact configuration (a pin or ball loaded vertically downward onto a horizontally rotating disc).
The apparatus can carry out experiments in accordance with ASTM F 732 when it is in reciprocating mode. Options for a heated lubricant enclosure, a reciprocating plate adapter, and fixtures for piston-ring/cylinder liner examples in reciprocating mode allow for the expansion of the working ranges.
The load/friction measurement system assembly and the disc carrier spindle are kept in an exact alignment by the machine base frame in a stable position.
The test pin is held in place by a sliding carriage that is secured to the weight beam. A level load beam allows for nominally flat on flat contact, though it can be challenging to accomplish in real life. It is best to use balls and pins with a triangular, conical, or radius point because these self-align as they wear. On suspended roller bearings, the weight beam’s pivot point at one end is counterbalanced.
Small weights are held on the beam at the opposite end by a steel peg, while large weights are carried by a weight carrier that extends over the base plate.
