Abrasive sleeves (bands) & band holders
Abrasive sleeves (bands) & band holders
Essen Engineers offers a range of metal finishing and polishing products. Spiral bands or abrasive sleeves/spiral bands /drum sanders as they are popularly known are made of spirally wound abrasive paper of special structure with interlocking base cloth giving these sleeves an outstanding flexibility to work in difficult contours/profiles. These sleeves are mounted on a serrated rubber holder which when rotated expands thereby tensioning the abrasive sleeves and increasing tool resilience giving the operator extreme flexibility for contouring in intricate profiles/cavities in dies, moulds, components, etc, and imparts a high degree of finish/polish as it utilises its full width and guarantees equal grinding giving a uniform chatter free and burr free surface. Abrasive sleeves are ideally suited for finishing/polishing of plastic and forging moulds/dies, spot welds, cast parts, welded joints, pipe ends, machined components, etc. They can be used on steels, stainless steels, hastalloys, titanium, WHS, and non-ferrous materials. These are recommended for use at RPMs between 40,000 to 7,000 on pneumatic grinders, high speed electric grinders and flexible shaft grinders. These are available in many different sizes.
