The M5-2-COF coefficient of friction gauge is a 2 lbF (10 N) capacity device designed for measuring static and kinetic friction coefficients in compliance with standards such as ASTM D1894. It features a backlit LCD display, programmable sled weight range of 100 to 1,000 g, and calculates COF automatically. Data can be transferred via USB, RS-232, Mitutoyo (Digimatic), or analog outputs, with onboard memory for 1,000 readings and statistical analysis. Integrated set points, pass/fail indicators, audio alarms, and password protection are included. The gauge supports tension and compression testing, includes MESUR®Lite software, and operates on AC or rechargeable battery power with a battery life of up to 7 hours with backlight on. It has a weight of 1.0 lb (0.45 kg), dimensions with a #10-32 UNF thread, and is rated for operation at 40-100°F and 96% non-condensing humidity. The device includes a NIST-traceable calibration certificate and a 3-year warranty.
The M5-2-COF coefficient of friction (COF) gauge is an integral part of a COF testing system, typically including a motorized test stand and COF fixture. With a capacity of 2 lbF [10 N], the gauge can be used to measure friction for a wide range of materials, ideal for conformance to ASTM D1894 and other relevant standards. Static and kinetic coefficients are displayed on the backlit LCD, and are calculated from a user-programmable sled weight. Data can be transferred to a PC or data collectors via USB, RS-232, Mitutoyo (Digimatic), or analog outputs. On-board memory for up to 1,000 readings is included, as are statistical calculations with output to a PC. Integrated set points with indicators and outputs are ideal for pass-fail testing and for triggering external devices such as an alarm, relay, or test stand. Configurable password protects against unauthorized changes to settings. The M5-2-COF may also be used for a number of common tension and compression testing applications. The gauge is based on Mark-10's Series 5 advanced digital force gauges, and includes the series' full set of functions and settings. The M5-2-COF includes MESUR® Lite data acquisition software. MESUR® Lite tabulates continuous or single point data. Data saved in the gauge's memory can also be downloaded in bulk. One-click export to Excel easily allows for further data manipulation.
