Key Features

• Flexible Honing Technology: The Brush Research BC series brake cylinder hone features a flexible, self-centering design that conforms to the cylinder bore for consistent surface finishing.
• Silicon Carbide Abrasive: Equipped with durable silicon carbide abrasive globules, this tool effectively removes glaze and microscopic peaks in the cylinder walls.
• 180 Grit Finish: The 180SC grit size is engineered to produce a desirable plateau finish, crucial for optimal oil retention and seal seating in brake cylinders.
• Integrated Drive Shaft: Designed for easy attachment to standard power drills or honing machines, facilitating straightforward application.

Applications

• Automotive Brake Cylinder Deglazing: Primarily used for deglazing and surface conditioning of automotive and hydraulic brake cylinders.
• Hydraulic Cylinder Resurfacing: Applicable for preparing other small-diameter hydraulic cylinder bores to accept new seals.
• Component Reconditioning: Ideal for reconditioning cast iron and steel brake components during rebuilds or repairs.
• Surface Preparation: Creates a cross-hatch pattern on cylinder walls, essential for proper lubrication and seal break-in.

Benefits

• Improved Sealing: The controlled surface finish promotes better sealing characteristics for piston rings and seals, reducing potential leakage.
• Enhanced Component Longevity: Preparing cylinder walls with the correct surface texture helps extend the service life of brake system components.
• Efficient Material Removal: This honing tool efficiently removes oxidation, rust, and surface imperfections without altering critical bore dimensions.
• Consistent Performance: Delivers a uniform and consistent finish across the entire bore, contributing to reliable brake system operation.
• Cost-Effective Maintenance: Facilitates the reconditioning of existing brake cylinders, offering a viable alternative to full component replacement.
