BC 1-3/8" (35MM) Brake Cylinder Flex-Hone 240SC Grit - Brush Research

The Brush Research BC13824 BC 1-3/8" (35MM) Brake Cylinder Flex-Hone 240SC Grit is an essential tool engineered for precision surface finishing and deburring in critical automotive and industrial hydraulic and pneumatic applications. This specialized honing tool delivers a controlled plateau finish, crucial for optimizing seal performance, extending component life, and ensuring reliable system operation.

Key Features

• Self-Centering Design: The abrasive globules feature independent suspension, allowing the Flex-Hone to automatically center within the bore. This ensures consistent, uniform pressure and an even finish across the entire surface, eliminating guesswork during the honing process.
• Superior Plateau Finish: Engineered to remove cut, torn, and folded material, this tool creates an ideal plateau finish free of imperfections and with radiused ports. This critical surface condition is vital for effective sealing and reduced wear in hydraulic and pneumatic components.
• Gentle, Controlled Honing: Its flexible construction and soft cutting action prevent over-honing or bore geometry distortion, preserving crucial tolerances. This capability extends component life and ensures reliable operation without compromising bore integrity.
• Professional-Grade Silicon Carbide Abrasive: Utilizes durable 240SC grit (silicon carbide) for efficient material removal and precise surface refinement. This abrasive is effective on a wide range of ferrous and non-ferrous metals commonly found in brake and hydraulic cylinders.
• Enhanced Surface Integrity: The unique Flex-Hone process improves the metallurgical structure of the finished bore surface, contributing to increased durability, wear resistance, and overall component reliability under demanding conditions.

Applications

This versatile honing tool is ideal for restoring and finishing the following components:

• Brake cylinders
• Wheel cylinders
• Hydraulic cylinders and components
• Pneumatic cylinders and components
• Valve guides
