Sole Adhesion Manufacturer,Supplier and Exporter in India
Product Code : EL-TE-13208
Quick Answer: The Sole Adhesion Tester is used to test the adhesion of the sole to the upper in footwear. A spring dynamometer reads the load at the sole and upper junction directly in kilograms on a circular dial, and a set of interchangeable toe pieces suits toes and heels of different shapes and sizes.

Key Features
- Spring dynamometer indicates the load at the junction of the sole and upper, in kilograms, on a circular dial
- Black pointer shows the instantaneous load and a red dummy pointer shows the maximum load before failure of adhesion
- Lever arrangement transmits the load on the toe piece to the dynamometer
- Five interchangeable carbon steel toe pieces of different curvature, all with the same arc length
- Straight edge fulcrum with adjustable height, set with the supplied spacer strips, for soles of different thickness
- Painted and bright chrome plated finish; a digital model is also listed

About This Product
In footwear testing, the sole adhesion test checks how firmly the sole is joined to the upper. A load is applied at the junction through a toe piece on a lever, and the load at which the joint fails is read from the dynamometer. The toe pieces differ in curvature so that toes and heels of different shapes can be tested, while their equal arc length confines the load to a fixed length of joint. The adjustable fulcrum lets soles of different thickness be tested.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q1. What does the Sole Adhesion Tester measure?
It indicates the load applied at the junction of the sole and the upper, directly in kilograms, taking into account the mechanical advantage of the lever.
Q2. What do the two pointers show?
The black pointer indicates the instantaneous load acting on the toe piece, and the red dummy pointer indicates the maximum load applied before failure of adhesion.
Q3. Why are there five toe pieces?
They have different curvature so that toes and heels of different shapes and sizes can be tested. The arc length of each is the same, so the load is applied only on a fixed length of joint.
