Key Features

• Flexible Design: Self-centering and self-aligning for consistent surface finishing within brake cylinders and other small bores.
• Silicon Carbide Abrasive: Features durable 180SC grit silicon carbide, effective for deglazing and creating an optimal surface on various metallic materials.
• Plateau Honing Capability: Engineered to produce a plateau finish, which is crucial for oil retention and extending the life of seals.
• Precision 5.5MM Diameter: Specifically sized for accurate application in small brake cylinders and similar precision bore requirements.
• Ball-Style Configuration: The abrasive globules float independently to ensure a uniform and consistent cross-hatch pattern on cylinder walls.

Applications

• Reconditioning and deglazing small bore brake cylinders.
• Preparing hydraulic and pneumatic cylinder walls for optimal sealing.
• Finishing and improving surface texture in small engine components.
• Removing rust, corrosion, and glaze from internal bores.
• Achieving a specific surface finish for improved lubrication and component longevity in automotive and industrial maintenance.

Benefits

• Enhanced Sealing Performance: Creates a superior surface finish that optimizes seal seating, significantly reducing leaks and improving system pressure retention.
• Extended Component Life: The controlled plateau finish promotes excellent oil retention, minimizing wear on pistons and seals for longer operational life.
• Consistent, High-Quality Finish: The flexible design adapts to bore irregularities, ensuring a uniform cross-hatch pattern and a professional finish every time.
• Simplified Operation: Its self-centering nature allows for quick and efficient use, even in challenging small diameter applications, reducing labor time.
• Improved Lubrication: The honed surface texture effectively holds lubricant, contributing to smoother operation and reduced friction within the cylinder.
