This honing tool is specifically designed for precise internal diameter finishing. It utilizes a 180 grit silicon carbide abrasive to achieve optimal surface texture within cylinder bores.

Key Features

• Flexible Honing Technology: Features a self-centering, self-aligning design that adapts to the bore surface, ensuring uniform material removal and a consistent finish within the brake cylinder.
• 180 Grit Silicon Carbide Abrasive: Equipped with high-quality 180 grit silicon carbide abrasive globules, ideal for effective deglazing, deburring, and surface conditioning.
• Plateau Finishing Capability: Creates a cross-hatch pattern and a plateau finish, which is crucial for optimal oil retention and proper sealing in hydraulic and brake cylinders.
• Durable Construction: Manufactured by Brush Research Manufacturing Co., Inc., this {manufacturers_part_number} tool is built for longevity and repeated use in demanding reconditioning tasks.

Applications

• Brake Cylinder Reconditioning: Primarily used for deglazing and finishing the internal surfaces of automotive brake cylinders, preparing them for new seals and pistons.
• Hydraulic and Pneumatic Cylinder Maintenance: Suitable for small-bore hydraulic and pneumatic cylinders requiring surface preparation to improve seal performance and longevity.
• Surface Preparation for Sealing: Creates an ideal surface finish to ensure proper seating and sealing of piston rings and seals, preventing fluid bypass and leaks.
• Automotive Repair and Overhaul: An essential tool for professionals and DIY enthusiasts undertaking brake system rebuilds and other precision engine or hydraulic component maintenance.

Benefits

• Enhanced Braking Performance: Achieves a superior surface finish that promotes optimal seal interaction, leading to more responsive and reliable brake operation.
• Extended Seal Life: The plateau finish generated by the 180 grit flex-hone reduces friction and wear on piston seals, significantly prolonging their operational life.
• Improved Oil Retention: The distinctive cross-hatch pattern on the cylinder walls effectively retains lubricants, contributing to smoother component movement and reduced heat buildup.
• Consistent Bore Sizing: Provides a uniform and controlled bore finish, helping to maintain precise internal dimensions critical for hydraulic and pneumatic system efficiency.
• Cost-Effective Maintenance: Facilitates the reconditioning of existing brake cylinders, offering a more economical solution compared to full component replacement.
