Condenser Pipe Brush Double Spiral
Technical informationBrush Diameter1/2 InchFilament MaterialSteel wire (ST)Wire Diameter0.01 InchPack Qty1Double stem, double spiral brushes with internal threaded end for handle attachment. Steel wire is the most common filament material. Brushes with steel wire as the filament material are ideal for work on surfaces and deburring. PFERD special wire has high tensile strength and bending fatigue strength. This ensures that the wire wears down in the optimal way, as well as a long tool life, even in extreme brushing applications.AdvantagesLoop end for easy use.Long service life through use of PFERD special wire.ApplicationsCleaningDrive TypesManual application

Hand Tube Brush
Technical informationBrush Diameter3/16 InchFilament MaterialStainless steel wire (INOX)Wire Diameter0.006 InchShank Diameter0.09 InchMax. RPM2500 RPMPack Qty12Designed for manual use. In order to fulfill the requirements for brushing stainless steel (INOX), PFERD produces all stainless steel (INOX) brushes using 302 stainless steel wire. Practical experience gained from industrial use confirms that this wire quality achieves excellent corrosion resistance with optimum brush life. The wire found in stainless steel (INOX) brushes tends to become magnetic after cold working. All PFERD brush products with stainless steel wire (INOX) are color-coded blue in the Tool Manual. All of these brushes are recommended for use on all stainless steels (INOX), such as 316.;The reason for this is a change in the microstructure caused by deformation (e.g. during the wire drawing process). This does not have any impact on the quality and corrosion resistance of the INOX filament. The filament is still resistant to corrosion.AdvantagesMaximum precision and efficiency when working on delicate workpieces.Optimal access to hard-to-reach areas such as the inner surfaces of pipes and drilled holes.ApplicationsCleaningDeburringDerustingRemoving heat discolourationRemoving oxide layersRougheningMaterials that can be workedStainless steel (INOX)AluminumBronzeCobalt-based alloysOther non-ferrous metalsDrive TypesManual applicationSafetyTo ensure secure operation, make sure that the brush head is inserted into the workpiece before use.

RPM1500 RPMPack Qty10High-performance tube brush for deburring and cleaning threads, holes and cross holes. Silicon carbide (SiC) filament brushes are designed for deburring work and surface improvement. Plastic filaments are temperature-resistant up to 410°F.AdvantagesHighly flexible, enabling optimal adaptation to the workpiece contour.The dimensional accuracy of the workpieces remains unchanged.Abrasive grains are embedded in flexible plastic filaments, which means that the filament works on the sides as well as at the tip.ApplicationsCleaningDeburringRougheningStructuring (matt finishing, brush matting and satin finishing)Materials that can be workedStainless steel (INOX)Steel, cast steelSteel materials with a hardness > 54 HRCSteels up to 370 HV (< 38 HRC)ThermoplasticsWoodAluminumBronzeCast ironCast steelDrive TypesFlexible shaft driveManual applicationPower drillSafetyWhen clamping the brush, ensure that the shank is clamped as far into the arbor as possible. This especially applies to high rotational speed ranges. The minimum clamping length is 10 mm. When using tube brushes inside pipes, bores, grooves, etc., consult PFERD about deviations from the specified maximum permitted rotational speed. For safe use, guide the brush into the workpiece before beginning work.

RPM2500 RPMPack Qty36For light cleaning and deburring work on threaded holes or recesses, e.g. keyways. Brass wire filament brushes are designed for applications like surface finishing on copper or brass workpieces. Compared to steel wire, brass wire is softer and more flexible. For all brushes with brass wire, PFERD uses wire quality CuZn37. Brass wire is temperature-resistant up to 350°F.AdvantagesHighly flexible, enabling optimal adaptation to the workpiece contour.Longer service life due to the design of the stem.In tube brushes with a short eyelet, the filament reaches up to the tip of the brush.The bent end of the wire does not have any sharp edges, which prevents delicate surfaces from getting scratched.Low-sparking.Creates fine surfaces.ApplicationsCleaningDeburringRemoving oxide layersMaterials that can be workedZincBrassCopperOther non-ferrous metalsDrive TypesFlexible shaft driveManual applicationPower drillSafetyFor safe use, guide the brush into the workpiece before beginning work.
