The TA-SFJ Sliding Friction Jig measures the coefficient of friction (COF) between two materials by sliding them against each other. One material is affixed to the base plate of the test fixture while the other material is wrapped around a weight which is then pulled across the first material at constant speed. The test apparatus utilizes the CT3 Tester to pull the weight in a horizontal direction so that the sliding friction between the two materials is measured accurately over a distance that is sufficient to verify steady state behavior. The unit is used to measure tactile qualities like smoothness, slipperiness or stickiness. It is suited for a variety of applications including lubricants and grease and many types of surfaces and coatings.
