• M5-2-COF gauge with G1086 coefficient of friction fixture Kit
• Allows for static and kinetic COF measurements
• Includes 200 g sled and sample clamp
• Mounts directly to the ESM303 motorized test stands
• Optional mounting posts for ESM750 and ESM1500 test stands (optional AC1055 mounting plate is required for the test stand)

The G1086 COF fixture is an integral part of a COF measurement system, typically including a motorized test stand and COF gauge. The G1086 can be used for a wide range of materials, ideal for conformance to ASTM D1894 and other relevant standards. Static and kinetic coefficients can be measured using the M5-2-COF gauge.

1. Attach the gauge (1) to the test stand (6), then fasten the hook (2) to the gauge’s load cell shaft.

2. Fasten the threaded posts (12) to the underside of the work table (7). Each post consists of two pieces, to accommodate any of the above-mentioned test stands.

3. Attach the work table to the test stand mounting plate utilizing two screws (5). Adjust the leveling feet at the end of the posts and monitor the level (3) to ensure that the surface is horizontal.

4. Guide the rightmost cable loop (8) around one of the free ends of the wire hanger (9). Then attach the free ends to the sled (10) by spreading them slightly and inserting them into the holes in either side of the sled. Guide the other cable loop around the hook mounted to the gauge.

5. Secure base sample material to the workbench via the sample clamp (11).

6. Wrap sample material around the sled.

7. As the test stand crosshead moves upwards, the cable is pulled around the low-friction pulley (4) and drags the sled over the material. The static and kinetic coefficients of friction are recorded by the gauge. Detailed instructions for Mark-10 gauges and motorized test stands may be found in their respective user guides.
