Product Positioning

Finishing-Oriented Wheels for Flat, OD & ID Blending

Cylindrical flap wheels are positioned as surface conditioning and blending tools focused on uniform scratch patterns and smooth transitions.
Compared with mounted flap wheels, they cover larger contact areas with steadier process rhythm; compared with flap discs, they are better suited for consistent finishing on flat surfaces, outer diameters (OD), inner diameters (ID), and contoured profiles.

Processing Logic

Compliant Radial Contact for Uniform Scratches and Smooth Transitions

Cylindrical flap wheels work by compliant contact to create consistent texture:

• Flaps conform to slight curvature and profiles;
• Continuous multi-flap engagement produces uniform, controllable scratches;
• They excel at blending and refining rather than heavy stock removal.

Hence, they are commonly used for post-weld blending, brushed-finish transitions, deburring, and light edge breaking.

Backing Structure & Performance Limits

Finishing-Oriented, Not a Replacement for Belts or Hard Wheels

• Strengths: uniform finish, smooth blending, surface-friendly contact
• Limits: not for heavy stock removal or impact grinding; for fast removal use belts or heavy-duty flap discs/grinding wheels

Excess pressure or dwelling can still cause overheating and uneven wear—stable feed is required

Machine Compatibility & Operating Conditions

Bore-Mounted Wheels for Finishing Machines and Production Fixtures

• Machines: finishing machines, polishers/sanders, dedicated arbors (bore-mounted)
• Recommended conditions: medium to low pressure, stable surface speed, continuous feed
• Must match: bore size to arbor diameter, wheel width, and RPM rating (never overspeed)

Typical Applications & Industries

Consistent Finishing for Metal, Wood, and Composite Parts

• Brushed finish unification and blending for stainless/aluminum
• Weld blending, deburring, and light chamfering
• Surface refinement for wood/composites (abrasive-dependent)
• Continuous finishing for hardware parts, tubes, and profiles

Grit Range & Recommended Use

Finish-Focused Grit Strategy

Typical recommendation

• P60–P80: weld blending and surface blending (balanced)
• P100–P120: general brushing and scratch refinement (most common)
• P150–P240: fine finishing, cosmetic enhancement, and rework repair

OEM & ODM Capability

Production-Oriented Wheel Engineering

OEM/ODM supported: OD/width/bore standards, flap density & hardness, layup angle, abrasive system, core material and balance grade, packaging and private labeling—engineered to match production takt time and target surface textures.

Why Choose Us

Uniform Finish Requires Balance, Layup Consistency and Process Control

Consistent finishes require: dynamic balance, uniform flap layup, bonding system control, and batch stability. Balance affects vibration and scratch uniformity; layup and bonding define the wear curve. We engineer for production consistency to make finishing repeatable.

Usage & Storage Recommendations

Better Finishing Comes from Stable Speed and Feed

• Never overspeed; follow rated RPM and ensure secure mounting with proper guarding
• Use medium to low pressure with continuous feed to avoid heat spots and uneven wear
• For cosmetic parts, step through grits to minimize deep scratches and rework
• Store dry and shaded; avoid moisture and compression; reseal after opening
