Sports court synthetic surface characterisation device

摘要

The device for characterising a surface (60) includes a motor (10) mounted on a base (20) and actuating a shaft (30). A normal arm (40) is coupled to the shaft and supports a shoe (50). The shoe is applied against the surface and held by a mechanism (110) which can deliver an adjustable effort. The show is then moved along the surface while a meter (8) measures the rotating couple generated by the friction between the shoe and surface.
