Backing pads typically consist of a pad body (plastic/rubber composite), center mount (thread/quick-change), and attachment face (hook & loop or PSA base), often with multi-hole dust channels.
They transmit rotation and pressure to the abrasive and the workpiece in a controlled way:
Backing pads are system-level carriers for disc consumables (sandpaper discs, mesh discs, nonwoven discs, sponge discs, etc.). They do not grind directly, but they define pressure distribution, vibration, edge gouging risk, cutting efficiency, scratch uniformity, and dust extraction performance.
In production and cosmetic finishing, backing pads are a “hidden determinant”—a mismatched pad can cause wobble, streaking, edge burn-through, loading, and inconsistent disc life even with premium abrasives.

OEM/ODM supported:
diameter/thickness, hardness grading, mount standards (thread/quick-change), hole patterns (universal/brand/no-hole), hook face material and durability grades, body materials/colors, packaging and private label. We can engineer system-matched solutions across mesh/paper/nonwoven/sponge disc families.

Backing pads create system stability:
concentricity and balance affect vibration/streaking, flatness affects contact consistency, and hole alignment affects extraction and disc life. We provide machine-and-consumable matched solutions to reduce wobble, uneven wear, loading, and rework—improving station repeatability.
