TA-SFJ Sliding Friction Jig measures coefficient of friction (COF) between two materials by sliding them against each other. While one material is affixed to base plate of test fixture, other material is wrapped around weight. Test apparatus utilizes CT3 Tester to pull weight in horizontal direction at constant speed so that sliding friction between two materials is measured accurately over distance sufficient to verify steady state behavior.
