FW: FLAP WHEEL WITH SHAFT STANDARD

The flap wheels with shank, are constituted by abrasive cloth flaps disposed radially around a core of epoxy resin incorporating a steel shank. Generally the steel shank diameter is 3 or 6 mm and length 40 mm.

FW-F: FLAP WHEEL WITH THREAD SHANK OF VARIOUS LENGTH

Are special Flap Wheels fitted with a threaded hole towhich is screwed a shank of standard length or choice of other lengths to allow the use in particular processes.

Examples of use are for machining of molds, turbine blades and in any case in small areas di cult to reach.

The flap wheels reach the best performance of the peripheral speeds recommended 20-35 m / s. Here it is realized an ideal compromise between removal, surface quality, thermal load of the workpiece and wheel wear shank. Are generally used on machines with flexible shafts, straight grinders electric or pneumatic.

INTERLEAVED FLAP WHEELS WITH SHAFT

The difference with the previous Flap Wheels with shaft (03-Series), they are composed with sheets of abrasive cloth alternated with sheets of non-woven fabric.

With the use of this technology it’s possible to get an higher removal power and good finishing.

Configurations

Every deeper marks, such as scratches and scaling, can be eliminated from the surface area.

NON WOVEN FABRIC:

In the family of FLexible abrasives, the “non-woven fabric” abrasive is the results of the sum of three elements:

Woven Nylon ber (the support), abrasive grain, synthetic resin (link nylon with abrasive grain).

The main feature of “non-woven fabric” is its open, and elastic, structure that means it is less susceptible to blockages and reduces operating noise and guarantee a better finishing uniformity.

FLAP WHEELS WITH SHAFT “NON-WOVEN FABRIC”

Non-woven fabric shaft mounted flap wheels are used on electric portable machines. Used for the cleaning, grinding and satining of ferrous and non-ferrous steel alloys.

Configurations

They are particularly suited for the finishing of surface areas that are small, di cult to reach or shaped surfaces.

Detail sheet

Flap wheels are the most common abrasives tools made by abrasives flaps radially arranged around an epoxy resin nucleus.

These wheels are suitable to use on grinding, sanding, polishing and satin finishing works, specially on iron, steel, stainless steel, brass, pewter, wood and non ferrous materials.

Flap wheels are normally mounted on electrical or pneumatic portable machines up to size 165mm, while the larger sizes are typically mounted on fixed cleaners polishing and grinding machines through reducing flanges. Flap wheels could have a dry or wet use depends on your needs and they could be shaped for special parts.

Some examples of their use are: steel tanks finishing, productions of kitchens steels parts, iron or steel frames, turbine blades and steel tubes and pipes.

Flap Wheels reach the best performances at the recommended speed use of 25/35 m/s and should be used exclusively with its own clamping flanges (SERIES 07).

Configurations

• ZIRCONIUM: suitable for inox, steel, cast iron and titanium.
• ALUMINIUM OXIDE (ALOX): suitable for iron, plastic, paints, resins and non-ferrous materials.

Detail sheet

They are special flap wheels, their flaps has a longitudinal cuts and intercalated between them, so as to provide degrees of the satin finish particularly regular, especially on shaped parts and in relief.

Due to the special construction, the consumption of the flaps is very smooth and due to the production technique developed by S.L.F. Abrasivi, silking is smooth from start to finish and the consumptions of flaps is very regular. For the special conformation of the wheel, the known vibration problems that are created during the use of normal flap wheels, Fast wheel “FW-F” reduces these phenomenon at the minimum. The wheel also is particularly suitable for finishing of noble metals such as silver, gold, pewter and brass.

Configurations

• ZIRCONIUM: suitable for inox, steel, cast iron and titanium.
• ALUMINIUM OXIDE (ALOX): suitable for iron, plastic, paints, resins and non-ferrous materials.
