The choice of the ideal satin finishing wheel with the best suited dimensions, facing and hardness must be determined based on the customer’s requirements. We have many years of experience and would be pleased to advise you by phone or email on a high quality and cost-effective satin finishing wheel for your process.
Applications
As a rule the surface treatment of metal takes place with satin finishing wheels which have an aluminium oxide facing. Grinding with this facing produces a silky lustre effect on the workpiece’s surface. This can be varied further with polishing additives. In this case, grinding compounds or grease – in very small quantities– are added.
Material: Stainless steel, copper, brass, aluminium, tin
Workpiece type:Profiled or flat metal pieces
Grinding operation: Surface and profile grinding
Handling: Automated grinding, hand-operated machines, grinding by hand
Examples: Escalators, lift signs, railings, paint preparation, etc.
Optional cutting speed
To achieve best results, the speed should lie between 15-20 m/s. To achieve a perfect surface on the workpiece, it is recommended that the satin finishing wheel runs as slowly as possible while applying light pressure. Higher speeds and higher pressure reduce both the service life of the satin finishing wheel and the quality of the workpiece surface.
Facing
As trimming we have the following executions in our program:
| Silicon carbide | Classification grain faction |
|---|---|
| Medium | 150 - 220 |
| Fine | 240 - 320 |
| Very fine | 360 - 400 |
| Super fine | 500 - 600 |
| Ultra fine | 800 - 1000 |
Hardness
Various hardnesses of the satin finishing discs are available:
| Hardness grades | Description |
|---|---|
| H3 | soft |
| H5 | medium soft |
| H7 | medium-hard |
| H10 | hard |
| H12 | very hard |
| RAX | extreme hard |
Dimensions
| Ø d1 [ in mm ] | Standard hole d2 [ in mm ] | Width B [ in mm ] | Max. speed [ n max ] |
|---|---|---|---|
| 100 | 25 | All widths between 20 mm and 1.400 mm |
