Abrasive sleeves are used in almost all grinding processes. They are manufactured in a very wide range of dimensions and qualities. Basically, sanding sleeves are made from abrasive cloth that is spirally wound onto a fabric with a very robust base. This results in very long service lives in the machining process, for example in metal and woodworking. A distinction is made between cylindrical and conical sanding sleeves.Abrasive sleeves are used on the appropriate abrasive sleeve carriers, which are mostly driven by hand-held machines (straight grinders, devices with flexible shafts, etc.). In addition to other applications, sanding sleeves are primarily used for…
- Removing weld seams in steel construction
- Fine grinding, for example in apparatus and container construction
- Post-processing during assembly and repair work
An additional advantage of the conical grinding sleeves is that you can easily grind out workpiece zones that are very difficult to access as the radius of the grinding sleeve becomes smaller over the tool.Important!
A secure fit of the grinding sleeve on the grinding sleeve carrier, and the resulting very high material removal due to the high aggressiveness of the abrasive, is only guaranteed if the minimum speed is maintained.
