Abstract
An apparatus for measuring the static friction properties of materials. The apparatus has a means for applying shear force to a sled and table interface in a smooth and repeatable manner. The apparatus operates without operator interference in terms of placing a load on the material to be tested. The apparatus contains a shear type load cell which operates at the same location in the apparatus at which the shear force is applied to a contact interface and at which static friction is generated.
