Flap-Wheel | Non-Woven AO-004 | Customizable

Abrasive Non-Woven Flap Wheels

EICKELIT flap wheels are constructed from a large number of single flaps of a nylon nonwoven with firmly bonded abrasives. They are suitable for cleaning, fine grinding, satin and matt finishing of non-ferrous metals and steels as well as a wide variety of other fields of application. We offer a large standard range of abrasive fleece types based on aluminum oxide or silicon carbide with different strengths and grain sizes to optimize desired results according to our customers' individual specifications.

Product Features

• Selectable grit sizes from "Extra Coarse" to "Ultra Fine" (grit 45 - grit 600 [CAMI])
• Core made of cardboard or hard paper tube, encapsulated with thermosetting synthetic resin compound
• Diameters 150 - 400 mm (larger diameters on request)
• Widths from 30 - 60 mm (wider rollers on request)
• Bore Holes 10 - 60 mm (hollow cores in standard industrial dimensions on request)
• Configurable in 4 ascending degrees of strength:

• • H0: Low density, soft, flexible and adaptable, for easy processing of profiled workpieces with complex surface geometry
  • H3: Medium density, high flexibility and adaptability, with increased resistance to clogging
  • H5: High density, higher hardness and lower flexibility, resulting in increased service life and aggressiveness
  • H7: Very high density, extreme hardness for high loads and strong aggressiveness

Abrasive Nonwovens

• In the manufacture of abrasive nonwovens, abrasives such as silicon carbide or aluminum oxide are firmly bonded to a nylon nonwoven by synthetic resins. Consequently, the strength and cooling effect of the abrasive fleece depends largely on the fiber strength, the fleece density and the physico-chemical properties of the binders in use
• Due to its open structure, abrasive nonwovens are self-cleaning and therefore do not clog during polishing. In addition, the chemical and physical resistance of the synthetic fiber composite also allows wet use together with aqueous or oily media
• Due to the flexibility of the nonwoen, even complex profiles and geometries can be efficiently processed, providing gentle material removal
• Because of the constant wear and tear of the backing material, fresh abrasives are constantly released in uniform concentrations on the tool's surface. This is why polishing tools made of nonwovens are particularly low-maintenance and thus provide a very uniform finish over their entire service life

Corundum / Aluminum Oxide (AO)

Corundum consists of> 95% aluminum oxide and is the most frequently used grinding tool on bonded abrasives. However, as the degree of purity increases, the hardness and brittleness of corundum increase, which has a rather negative effect on the longevity of the abrasive grain and thus the uniformity of the grinding pattern. That is why we mainly use abrasive fleeces with doped and consequently more ductile types of corundum. On the one hand, this increases the service life of the polishing tools and, on the other hand, the grinding pattern looks more balanced compared to undoped aluminum oxide.

AO-004

• The aluminum oxide abrasive in AO-004 corresponds to a grain size of approx. 180 grit and provides a medium-coarse grinding pattern
• The abrasive fleece AO-004 has a medium-strength texture
