FLEX HONE BC23424 Cylinder Hone 2-3/4" Max Bore Diameter, 240 Grit

FLEX HONE BC23424 Cylinder Hone 2-3/4" Max Bore Diameter, 240 Grit

• The Brush Research BC23424 FLEX HONE is a cylinder hone tool with a 2.750" diameter and 240 grit. It is made of silicon carbide and is designed for surface refinishing and cross hole deburring in brake cylinders, wheel cylinders, hydraulics, pneumatics, lifter bores, and valve guides.
• Features
  • SURFACE FINISHING - The Flex-Hone Tool is available in a variety of abrasive types and grit selections to provide the optimum surface finish on any base material
    • The Flex-Hone is commonly used to reduce Ra, Rk and Rpk values while maintaining Rvk and Vo volume for oil retention
    • Using the Flex-Hone Tool for surface finishing allows the sizing tools to do their jobs quickly and accurately without fighting surface finish
    • The Flex-Hone is also used in adhesive bonding applications where a rougher surface is desired for bonding integrity
  • DEBURRING - Debarring of cross drilled holes is an expensive, time consuming operation. The Flex-Hone Tool can be used to remove burrs from cross drilled holes leaving a clean, radiused intersection
    • Because of its unique construction, the Flex-Hone can be used online in machine tool applications or offline as a secondary operation
    • The tool is self-cantering and self-aligning to the bore so elaborate, rigid set-ups are not required
    • It is advisable to use the tool in the main bore into which the cross holes break
    • Best results are obtained by rotating and stroking the tool a few strokes in a clockwise direction, removing the tool from the part, reversing the spindle and then rotating and stroking the tool in a counter clockwise direction for a few more strokes
    • This forward and reverse rotation creates a more symmetrical debarring pattern
  • PLATEAU FINISHING - Brush Research pioneered the concept of a plateau finish and is a strong proponent of the benefits of a cross hatch, plateaued finish
    • The concept involves removing the peaks produced by prior machining operations and creating a substantially flat or plateau finish
    • A plateau finish created by the elimination of peaks allows rings and seals to seat without damaging their edges
    • The cross hatch pattern will aid in lubrication control and retention, reduce seepage in hydraulic and pneumatic applications and promote longer seal life
