5 MAINTENANCE
The Elcometer 106 Pull Off Adhesion Tester is designed to give many years service under normal operating
and storage conditions.
Lubricate the screw threads with light machine oil on a regular basis.
Pull-off force
The pull-off force is provided by the progressive compression of Belleville washers.
After considerable heavy use the washers may age and no longer have their original characteristics. The
washers may also become distorted and permanently damaged if the tester is tightened fully, beyond the
length of the engraved scale on the barrel.
In this instance the force recorded by the tester should be checked and, if necessary, the tester should be
returned to Elcometer for fitting of a new set of Belleville washers and re calibration.
Calibration
Calibration checks to ensure that the correct load is being applied to the dolly will be required periodically.
Elcometer can conduct these checks and a calibration certificate traceable to national standards can be
issued.
