As the name indicates – the aluminium hub of the contact wheel FAPI-PA SMOOTH is coated with a smooth para rubber coating.
While a coating height of 20 mm has established itself as the standard, the coating height is variable as desired. The smooth design of the contact wheel is suitable for the heaviest grinding and roughing. It is also attractive due to its long service life.

Advantages
The contact wheels of the FAPI-PA – series are coated only with para rubber. The para rubber (PA) coated contact wheels are in practice often simply called “rubber coated contact wheels” or rubber contact wheels.
Benefits of contact wheels with this design:
- Highest service life
- Wear-resistance
- Oil-resistance
- Grease-resistance
- Emulsion-resistance
Because of these outstanding properties, contact wheels of the FAPI-PA – series have proven themselves in the market over decades

Applications
Contact wheels FAPI-PA SMOOTH are the standard contact wheels often found on machines. Because of their universal usage options, almost all machine manufacturers supply their maschines with contact wheels from this series.
Grinding: cylindrical grinding, surface grinding, heaviest grinding and roughing
Grinding method: wet and dry grinding
Operation: automatic grinding, portable machines, pedestal grinder/backstand, robotic grinding
Dimensions
Diameter: 75 to 450 mm
Width: 20 to 200 mm
Hole: as per specification
Other dimensions on request!
Coating hardness
The hardness of the para rubber coating can be differentiated into five levels. The coating hardness ranges from an extra soft para rubber surface with 35º Shore (A) to an extra hard para rubber coating with 90º Shore (A).

The right contact wheel hardness always depends on the individual application.
