The Taber Linear Abraser incorporates a horizontal arm that reciprocates in a linear motion. 

Attached to the end of the arm is a precision bearing spline shaft that creates a ‘free-floating’ test system and permits vertical movement.  Adjustable settings enable the user to select the speed, stroke length and test load.

The Linear Abraser includes six preset speed buttons, along with the ability to adjust the speed from 2 to 75 strokes per minute. Eleven stroke lengths are standard ranging from 0.2 inch to 4.0 inch.
