Pferd Polinox Surface Conditioning Wheel

• POLINOX Wheel Silicon Carbide - Surface Conditioning 
• The non-woven abrasive flaps are arranged radially. A long tool life is achieved through the dense packing of the flaps. These tools are particularly used for surface work.
• Abrasive:
  SiC = Silicon carbide
• POLINOX mounted and unmounted grinding wheels are made out of non-woven nylon in which abrasive grit is embedded.
• The flexible open-cell structure of the non-woven material makes the tools very elastic and ensures cool grinding.
• Made of radially arranged flaps of non-woven abrasive material. A long tool life is achieved through the dense packing of the flaps.
• The tool is particularly used for surface work.

• Cool grinding and low thermal load on the workpiece
• No clogging of the tool

Application examples

• Producing matt and satin finishes on metals
• Cleaning of oxidized non-ferrous metals
• Seamless brush finishing of stainless steel (INOX)
•  Surface roughening of plastics in preparation for adhesive bonding
• Surface adaptation of weld seams

Recommendations for use

• POLINOX mounted and unmounted grinding wheels achieve their best performance at a recommended cutting speed of 10̐20 m/s. This provides an ideal compromise between stock removal, surface quality, thermal load on the workpiece and tool wear.
• Flexible shaft drives, electric and airpowered straight grinders can be used as tool drives.

Safety notes

• The maximum permitted peripheral speed is 32 m/s
• For safety reasons, it is imperative to remain within the stated maximum permitted rotational speed at all times
