The movement is set up for consistent test-to-test behavior. This tester uses a fixed reciprocating stroke and controlled rubbing speed, so the rubbing action stays uniform across runs. The listed operating values are 40 +/- 2 cycles/min with a 35 to 40 mm stroke, which supports steady comparison work in leather, footwear, and coated-surface testing.

Repeatability also depends on keeping specimen mounting, fixture spacing, and applied weights consistent. For routine QC, incoming inspection, or finish comparison, that controlled motion helps reduce operator-to-operator variation and makes result trends easier to compare.
