No. 557 Friction Measuring Machine HM-3 (Horizontal Method - Friction Coefficient Measuring Machine)
This is a testing machine that measures the static friction coefficient (μS) and dynamic friction coefficient (μK) of materials such as plastic films, paper, textiles, and leather products using the horizontal method.
● You can check the measurement graph on the touch panel. ● Measurement results can be saved (up to 100 data). ● You can print measurement conditions and results on a compact printer* (optional). ● Measurement results can be displayed and saved on a PC* (optional). ● The display language can be switched based on settings (Japanese/English). ● The load display is range-less. ● A safety cover* can be installed (optional). ● There is also a heated plate version available. (The video below shows the heated plate version.)
