The D5095D provides an accurate and repeatable test of the static and kinetic friction of plastic films and sheets, with a variable speed drive. Tests can be performed with plastic sliding over itself or against other surfaces such as stainless steel. The D5095D has a rugged construction and a variable sled speed from 1 – 20 inches per minute. The D5095D features a digital force gauge with 0.1 grams force resolution, and 250 grams full scale as standard. Optional digital force gauges are available for up to 25 kilograms full scale. The gauge can be configured to capture static(starting) friction, or kinetic(sliding) friction. The D5095D also features a 0.0-2.0 VDC analogue output and RS232 communications, for connection to a chart recorder or a computer.
