This easy-to-use, reliable and versatile instrument uses hydraulic pressure and a revolutionary self-aligning dolly to ensure uniform pull distribution over the surface being tested, preventing a one-sided pull-off. This is done using a ring of small ball bearings to engage the articulating dolly head. There are two models available: the model AT-A Automatic Pull-Off Adhesion Tester and Model AT manual version. view less |  |
