Cup/Bell Shape Flap Wheels

Cup/Bell Shape Flap Wheels

Product Overview

Flap Wheels for Internal Angles, Concave Surfaces and Root-Blend Finishing

The cup/bell geometry directs the effective contact zone toward inner edges, enabling the flaps to enter inside corners and concave profiles more naturally.
Typically bore-mounted on an arbor, it supports continuous feed at stable surface speed, achieving strong blending performance even under moderate pressure.

Product Description

Product Positioning

Purpose-Built for Inside Corners, Concave Areas and Root Blending

Cup/Bell shape flap wheels are positioned as specialized wheels for inside corners and concave surfaces, addressing limitations of cylindrical/conical wheels where contact is insufficient or unstable at inner roots, concave areas, and groove bottoms.
They are widely used for root blending, inside-corner brushing, and texture unification on concave profiles—ideal for applications demanding high accessibility and cosmetic consistency.

Processing Logic

The Advantage is Contact Direction Control

The key is not more aggressiveness, but controlling contact direction via geometry:

  • Standard wheels often “edge hit” inside roots, increasing gouging risk;
  • Cup/bell wheels allow flaps to engage the root more conformably, reducing deep scratches;
  • On concave radii, contact becomes more uniform and scratch patterns are easier to unify.

Backing Structure & Performance Limits

Specialized Profile Tool, Not a General Flat-Sanding Wheel
  • Strengths: superior access to inside corners/concave areas; smoother root blending
  • Limits: not for large flat leveling or heavy stock removal

More sensitive to angle/feed: excessive pressure, dwelling, or incorrect posture increases gouging and overheating risk

 

—————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————-

Machine Compatibility & Operating Conditions

Bore-Mounted Wheels for Profile Finishing Stations
  • Machines: finishing machines, sanders/polishers, dedicated arbors (bore-mounted)
  • Recommended conditions: medium to low pressure, stable surface speed, continuous movement along profiles
  • Must match: bore/arbor size, cup geometry (diameter/depth), and RPM rating (never overspeed)

Typical Applications & Industries

Root Blending and Inside-Corner Finishing for Metal Profiles

Inside-corner brushing and root texture blending on stainless

Root blending for fillet welds and inner-corner welds

Groove bottoms, concave surfaces, internal radii finishing

Internal dressing for hardware parts, profiles, and frame structures

Grit Range & Recommended Use

Grit Strategy for Inside-Corner Blending
Typical recommendation
  • P60–P80: root blending and profile dressing (balanced)
  • P100–P120: general inside-corner brushing and scratch unification (most common)
  • P150–P240: cosmetic refinement and rework repair at roots

OEM & ODM Capability

Geometry-Driven Customization for Inside-Corner Work

OEM/ODM supported: cup/bell geometry (diameter, depth, lip angle), OD/width/bore standards, flap density & hardness, abrasive system, core material & balance grade, private label/packaging—engineered for inside-corner roots and concave finishing.

Why Choose Us

Root Finishing Needs Geometry Accuracy and Batch Stability

Inside-corner root work quickly reveals structural instability:

Geometry deviation leads to uneven contact, gouging, and inconsistent texture. We control cup geometry consistency, dynamic balance, and layup/bond stability to deliver repeatable blending and scratch results in root finishing.

Usage & Storage Recommendations

Keep the Root Cool—Use Controlled Pressure and Continuous Motion
  • Never over speed; follow rated RPM and ensure secure mounting with guarding
  • For roots, use medium to low pressure with continuous motion to avoid heat spots and gouging
  • For cosmetic parts, step through grits to minimize deep scratches and rework
  • Store dry and shaded; avoid moisture and compression; reseal after opening
