With unmounted flap wheels, coated abrasive flaps are arranged radially around the core in a fan-like structure. The flexible flaps perfectly adapt to surface contours. The abrasive grain is embedded in the sturdy, flexible cloth backing material with a resinoid bond. In ISO 5429, unmounted flap wheels are designated as "flap wheels." The ideal flap wheel for use on angle grinders in assembly shop operations. For universal applications from coarse to fine grinding.

Special features

  • Conforms to contours due to high flexibility.
  • Consistently high stock removal rate throughout the entire service life as new, aggressive abrasive is constantly exposed.
  • Can be used face-down very close to edges and in corners thanks to special clamping system.
  • Can be mounted directly on the angle grinder without additional clamping devices.

Applications

  • Deburring
  • Step-by-step fine grinding
  • Leveling
  • Structuring (matt finishing, brush matting and satin finishing)
  • Surface work
  • Work on weld seams

Materials that can be worked

  • Stainless steel (INOX)
  • Steel materials with a hardness > 54 HRC
  • Steels up to 370 HV (< 38 HRC)
  • Aluminum
  • Annealed cast iron
  • Brass
  • Cast steel
  • Copper
  • Grey/nodular cast iron (GG/GJL, GGG/GJS)
  • Hardened, heat-treated steels over 370 HV (38 HRC)

Recommendations for use

  • Flap wheel wear and the thermal load on the workpiece are reduced by decreasing the contact pressure and peripheral speed, and by adding grinding oil.
  • Stock removal rate should be increased by using a coarser grit, not by increasing the contact pressure. This avoids unnecessary flap wheel wear and prevents the thermal load of the workpiece.
  • Increasing the speed results in a slightly finer surface quality. An increase in contact pressure results in a slightly coarser surface. The softer the workpiece material, the coarser the resulting surface (when using the same grit size).
  • Use the appropriate grinding oil for the material to significantly increase the service life and the abrasive performance of the discs.
  • For the best results, use a power tool with 1,000–1,500 watts.
  • For best performance, use at a recommended peripheral speed of 7,900-9,800 SFPM.

Safety

  • Unmounted flap wheels should only be used with the appropriate clamping flanges.
  • The contact pressure has to be reduced significantly when the optimum rotational speed is exceeded.
  • For safety reasons, the maximum permitted rotational speed indicated must never be exceeded.
  • The maximum permitted peripheral speed is 15,800 SFPM.
