NON-WOVEN ABRASIVES Convolute Wheels
For polishing, deburring & finishing Beartex Convolute Wheels are formed by wrapping Beartex material around a central core and bonding the layers together to form a convolute wheel. This design offers higher resistance to wear and imparts glossy
finish to components. Grindwell Norton offers a wide range of convolute wheels ranging from cleaning rust and oxide removal to heavy duty deburring.
TYPICAL APPLICATIONS OF NON WOVEN ABRASIVES:
* Polishing, Deburring and Finishing of
metallic and non-metallic comonents.

BEARTEX SEIRES 1000 LONG LIFE WHEELS
FEATURES
Water proof
Dense web construction (Density 9)
Dense web construction (Density 8)
BENEFITS
Can be used with water or dry
Long life and suited for heavy duty deburring
Suited for clearing and light duty deburring.
Series 4000 Convolute Wheels
Series 4000 Convolute Wheels are harder than Series 1000 Convolute Wheels. They are recommended for heavy duty deburring
applications. 4-8AM and 4-9SF are the range of products available in the Series 4000 Convolute Wheels range.
Flap Wheels
Beartex Flap Wheels are formed by mounting sheets of Beartex web material around a fibre centre hub… the tightly packed pieces
forming the spokes of a wheel. The construction makes flap wheel most conformable of all the Beartex wheel products. This provides a cushioning action which is ideal for use on uneven or irregular surfaces, as well as flat areas. Beartex flap wheels are available from 120# to 1000# in Silicon Carbide and Aluminium Oxide. When the flap wheel made of Aluminium Oxide is used on most metals, it produces a dull or matt type long scratch pattern. Flap wheels made of Silicon Carbide abrasive produce a semi bright or glossy finish.
