BRM Releases New NamPower™ Resource Guide

Brush Research Manufacturing (BRM) invites you to download the new NamPower™ Resource Guide for complete information about how to select and use NamPower™ abrasive disc brushes and NamPower™ composite hub wheel brushes. This full-color, seven-page guide is easy-to-read and packed with insights for manufacturers who want to automate surface finishing, deburring, and edge radiusing operations.Click here to download your free digital copy today.  Here’s a look at some of what’s inside.   

NamPower™ Abrasive Disc Brushes

NamPower™ abrasive disc brushes are easily integrated into automated machinery, CNC machining centers, transfer lines, and robotic cells. Made with flexible nylon filaments with ceramic and silicon carbide abrasive, these high-performance abrasive brushes provide maximum burr removal rates and produce an optimum surface finish at the same time.

BRM offers two types of NamPower™ abrasive disc brushes: dot and turbine. Dot style brush tools are designed for general-purpose deburring and surface finishing applications. For medium and heavy deburring applications, turbine style NamPower™ disc brushes are the right choice. As the NamPower™ Resource Guide explains, these BRM brush tools cut faster and last longer.

Brush type is important, but selection criteria such as trim length and grit selection matter, too. Both types of NamPower™ disc brushes are available in three sizes (100, 125, and 150 mm), two trim lengths (18 and 38 mm), and with four grit choices (80, 120, 180, and 320). Abrasive disc brush users also need to consider operational parameters such as recommended RPMs, cut depth, and feed rates. 

So how can you tell which NamPower™ abrasive disc brush is right for your surface finishing application?

The NamPower™ Resource Guide explains. This free technical book from Brush Research also guides you through the process of choosing and using NamPower™ radial wheel brushes.

NamPower™ Composite Hub Wheel Brushes

NamPower™ composite hub wheel brushes are abrasive nylon brushing tools for machine-based and off-hand deburring, surface finishing, and edge radiusing operations. An alternative to wire wheels and non-woven abrasive brushes, NamPower™ radial wheel brushes feature indestructible cores with higher filament density and a balanced construction. 

BRM offers NamPower™ composite hub wheel in two sizes (6-inch and 8-inch diameters). As the new NamPower™ Resource Guide explains, larger diameter brushes are less aggressive and more flexible. By contrast, smaller diameter brushes are less flexible and more aggressive. When determining diameter, parameters such as burr size, part shape, and final surface finish are also important to consider.

Grit selection is another essential parameter for NamPower™ composite hub wheel brushes. As a rule, choose the coarsest grit possible that will still produce the required surface finish. If necessary, follow-up with a fine-grit abrasive brush tool. Additional specifications for these radial wheel brushes include face width, cut depth, feed rate, and arbor adaptors.

So how can you tell which NamPower™ composite hub wheel brush is right for your surface finishing application? The NamPower™ Resource Guide explains. This free technical book also guides you through the process of selecting and using NamPower™ abrasive disc brushes, part of the NamPower™ family of brush tools from Brush Research Manufacturing (BRM).
