Flap Wheels

We have Flap wheels made for working on all metals in mounted, unmounted and DIY designs, made by different raw materials with abrasive cloths, non-woven, depressed nylon, SCM, felt and various unique materials that depending on customers’ needs. These wheel styles each have triple reinforcement for added stability in aggressive applications but differ in their profile to offer unique advantages:

Abrasive Flap Wheels (With Shank)

Some people also called "sander paper grinding wheel" have an equivalent spaces profile with a shank-boned central that performs best between 0 and 35 degrees. However, effective stock removal with these wheels is achievable at working angles depending on the workpiece's structure.

Abrasive Flap Wheels (Without Shank)

Big size flap wheels have an equivalent spaces like fan with depressed central design, like 200mm diameter, that product is idea for aggressive surface grinding with a big machine.

Miniature Flap Wheel (Without Shank)

Another type is miniature flap wheel with boned central and screw hole, need apply screw shank joint with die grinder. That is aggressive at round shapes work pieces and increases access to tight small difficult to reach spaces. Idea for apply to pipelines, Hydraulic instrument accessories, car engine blocks, valve parts, crankshaft, rims polishing and grinding.

Raw Material Types

Flap Wheels are mixed combinations of different types of abrasives which leads to different performance results. The abrasives cloth can be made by Aluminum Oxide (AO), Silicon carbide (SIC)， Zirconia(Z), Ceramic and AO combine, etc, can make the type as Non-woven abrasives, abrasive cloths， sander papers, supper abrasives, boned polishing stones, boned grinding heads, felt material made with wool, etc. The abrasive does the work and grinds metal when it makes contact with metal, non-ferrous, glass, wood, leather, plastic, painting surfaces, while the joint holds the abrasive materials in place and helps the abrasive tools keep their shape. Abrasives have the characteristics of strength, sharpness, and hardness. Choosing a flap wheel with the right composition for the application and material will ensure consistent results and continuous efficiency.

The joint grinder also plays an elemental role in the choice of flap wheel. Flap wheels come in different exterior diameters, heights, shank diameters (or central diameters) made to accommodate different size grinders. That is about the inner diameter, abrasive tools attach to angle grinders, die grinders on a spindle, known as an arbor. Arbor size would vary (e.g. 3.175mm, 3/8”, 6mm, 6.35mm, 8mm, 10mm) and an exact match for the wheel ensures a secure fit. Our flap wheels offer compatibility with 2.38mm, 3.175mm, 6mm, 6.35mm, 8mm, 10mm, 14mm arbors, and for the global safety maximum rotation speed.

Choosing Flap Wheels for Aluminium Alloy Surface

Miniature Flap wheel with AO is a preferred product to aluminum alloy, AO is lightweight, sharp, naturally resistant to rust and corrosion, and sometimes even more durable when made in the proper alloy. Due to aluminum's composition, fabrication work involving this material requires a flap wheel for non-ferrous metals, especially hard-to-reach corners, and holes, miniature flap wheels are very flexible and comfortable processing during polishing. We make an aluminum miniature flap wheel precisely for this purpose:

Keying Aluminum miniature flap wheels are ideal tools for working on aluminum-based alloys. This flap wheel is enhanced with an aluminum oxide blend for a consistently high cut rate throughout the wheel's life. The wheel is opening and allowing a flexible maximum spaces and touch with the metal parts while the grinders are operating. It can maximum the grinding and polishing area of the work pieces, that mainly to solve the grinding problems raised by the irregular surfaces and holes. Miniature flap wheels are allowing operators to get more work done in less time without compromising durability.
