Brake Cylinder Flex-Hone - 2 x 8 In - 320 Grit - Brush Research

The Brush Research BC2320SC Brake Cylinder Flex-Hone is an essential tool for professional technicians and mechanics, engineered to recondition brake cylinders with precision and efficiency. This durable honing tool is designed to restore worn or corroded brake cylinder bores, ensuring optimal performance and extending the lifespan of critical braking components. It provides a consistent, high-quality surface finish crucial for proper seal seating and effective brake operation.

Key Features

• Silicon Carbide Abrasive: Utilizes high-quality silicon carbide abrasive globules for effective material removal and a precise finish.
• Flexible Design: The resilient, flexible honing tool conforms to the bore surface, providing a soft cutting action that effectively removes rust, corrosion, and glaze.
• Self-Centering and Self-Aligning: Each abrasive globule has independent suspension, allowing the Flex-Hone to be self-centering, self-aligning to the bore, and self-compensating for wear, ensuring consistent contact and an even finish.
• Optimal Grit for Brake Cylinders: The 320 grit abrasive provides an ideal plateau finish for brake cylinders, promoting proper piston seal function and longevity.
• Professional-Grade Construction: Built for durability and repeated use in demanding workshop environments.

Applications

The Brush Research Brake Cylinder Flex-Hone is indispensable for reconditioning automotive and industrial brake cylinders. It is specifically designed to:

• Remove rust, corrosion, and other deposits that accumulate within the cylinder bore.
• Eliminate glaze and minor surface imperfections, preparing the cylinder for new brake pads and seals.
• Achieve a superior plateau finish, which is critical for preventing leakage, reducing wear on seals, and ensuring consistent braking performance.
• Restore the cylinder bore to its original specifications, preventing costly premature wear of new components.
