The contact disc FAPI-VUS OPEN is a further development of the sealed version. In the open version, the aluminum core is alternately provided with a long and a short lamella made of foamed Vulkollan®.

The overall height of the covering can also be adapted to the respective application and can therefore be selected variably (standard: 20 mm and 35 mm).

Thanks to the open design variant, the sanding belt can be cooled better and the heat can be dissipated better. By precisely adapting the soft running pad to the workpiece to be ground, high-performance processes in the fine grinding area are possible.

Contact discs from the FAPI-VUS series are exclusively covered with slats made of foamed Vulkollan®.Advantages of contact discs with a coating made of foamed Vulkollan®:

  • Highly elastic (adaptable)
  • Wear resistance
  • Oil resistance
  • Grease resistance

Due to these outstanding properties, the contact discs of the FAPI-VUS series have proven themselves on the market for decades.The contact wheel FAPI-VUS OPEN is particularly used when high-quality surfaces on profiled or rounded workpieces need to be achieved in the shortest processing time.Grinding operation: round grinding, profile grinding

Grinding type: dry grinding process

Handling: Automatic grinding, hand-held machines, hand grinding bench/backstand, robot grindingDiameter: 75 to 450 mm
Width: 20 to 200 mm
Slat height: 20 mm / 35 mm / as specified
Bore: according to specifications

Further dimensions on request!The hardness of the slats made of foamed Vulkollan® can be differentiated into three levels. The spectrum here ranges from a soft slat covering made of foamed Vulkollan® with 25º Shore (A) to a hard slat covering made of foamed Vulkollan® with 45º Shore (A).The correct selection of the design and slat hardness always depends on the individual application.
