The Din Abrader is primarily for use in determining the resistance of vulcanised rubber to abrasive forces using a cylindrical type drum.  
 



 

The Whole Sole Flex Tester can be fitted with three cleated soles to be tested as per DIN 53543. Consisting of a rigid steel housing, the Flex Tester is driven by a Three Phase electric motor with a preset counter to stop testing at a predetermined cycle count.  
 



 

This well proven instrument was designed to measure the strength of the adhesion of stuck-on soles at the toe and heel in the shoe factory, but is equally useful in the laboratory. 
 



 

The tests carried out on this machine give an indication of the risk of spontaneous cracking of the shoe soles due to flexing in wear. The sole forepart is attached to an endless belt which passes around two rollers, the smaller of which determines the severity of the flexing action. The endless belt usually accommodates up to six sole units.  
 



 

The Shoe Drop Tester Model S0007 is designed to determine the impact resistance of protective toecaps. A 27 kg mass falls freely on vertical guides onto the protective toecap. The machine is designed so that a mass weighing 20.0 +/- 0.2 kg is allowed to fall freely on vertical guides through various predetermined heights.
