Elastic floor coverings - Test apparatus for determination of chair wheel effect

Application

The floor wheel friction tester is also known as the floor wheel wear resistance testing machine, floor wheel friction resistance testing machine, and floor wheel impact resistance testing machine. This test is commonly used to determine the wear resistance of floor wheels by testing them on a friction floor sample track at a specific speed, under a specific load, and under specific conditions. After completing the defined number of tests, it automatically stops to observe changes in the sample, evaluates sample wear, and the total number of test cycle repetitions, holding pressure time, and other functions can be adjusted.
