How NamPower Mini Disc Brushes Solve Surface Finishing Challenges

NamPower small-diameter disc brushes are designed for harder-to-reach areas, smaller applications, and planetary head mountings. Like other members of the NamPower family, these nylon abrasive brushing tools achieve maximum burr removal rates and an optimum surface finish at the same time. In addition to deburring and final finishing, applications for NamPower mini disc brushes include surface preparation, rust removal, edge radiusing, polishing, and spot finishing.

Features and Benefits of Abrasive Nylon Disc Brushes

NamPower mini disc brushes feature flexible nylon abrasive filaments with a combination of ceramic and silicon carbide abrasive. These abrasive nylon filaments are bonded to a molded, fiber-reinforced thermoplastic base that provides greater stability and rigidity with reduced vibration. Well-balanced and built-to-last, NamPower small-diameter disc brushes are easily integrated into CNC equipment, transfer lines, robotic lines, and other automated machinery.

Small-diameter NamPower nylon abrasive disc brushes also feature a flow-through tool holder with a 16-mm shank. These tough and dependable NamPower accessories are heat-treated, precision-ground, and PVD coated. Because coolant flows from the brush’s center instead of from its sides, NamPower mini disc brushes provide excellent lubricant dispersion. Abrasive nylon filaments that are used with coolant can spin faster than dry applications without overheating and smearing.

Mini Disc Brush Sizes, Styles, and Specifications

NamPower mini disc brushes are available in 50-mm, 60-mm, and 80-mm diameters and come in both dot and turbine styles. Dot style disc brushes are designed for light-duty deburring and edge blending. These economical brushing tools also allow entry into small holes and tight spaces with ease. Turbine style disc brushes are recommended for medium-duty and heavy-duty burr removal. Their high-density fill supports long tool life and is ideal for short cycle times.

In addition to brush size and style, small-diameter NamPower disc brushes carry abrasive-related specifications. Standard NamPower mini brushes use both white ceramic and silicon carbide abrasive and are available in 80, 120, 180, and 320 grit. This unique combination of silicon carbide and ceramic provides an excellent value and maintains superior cutting performance. Custom NamPower mini disc brushes feature a combination of blue ceramic and silicon carbide abrasive, or blue ceramic only.
