Key Features

• Flexible Design: The self-centering and self-aligning design adapts to the cylinder bore, ensuring consistent pressure and contact.
• Silicon Carbide Abrasive: Features durable silicon carbide (SC) grit, known for its effective cutting action and ability to produce a refined finish.
• 320 Grit Finish: Provides a specific 320 grit surface finish, ideal for deglazing and creating a plateau finish in various cylinders.
• Controlled Cutting Action: Delivers a uniform, controlled cutting action that removes microscopic peaks while maintaining the cylinder's geometric accuracy.
• Ball-Style Abrasive: Incorporates a unique ball-style abrasive structure that produces the desired cross-hatch pattern for optimal sealing and lubrication.

Applications

This Flex-Hone tool is specifically engineered for precision surface conditioning in a variety of small-diameter cylinders, including:

• Brake master cylinders
• Automotive wheel cylinders
• Clutch cylinders
• Small hydraulic and pneumatic cylinders
• Deglazing and honing worn cylinder bores to restore original surface integrity.
• Preparing cylinder surfaces for new seals and piston rings to ensure proper seating and function.

Benefits

• Optimized Performance: Restores the ideal surface finish within cylinders, ensuring superior sealing for brake fluid retention and improved hydraulic efficiency.
• Extended Component Life: Creates a consistent, non-directional finish that reduces friction and wear on seals and piston rings, prolonging the lifespan of critical components.
• Enhanced Lubrication: Generates a plateau finish with microscopic valleys, which effectively retains lubricating fluids, minimizing dry spots and reducing wear.
• Simplified Operation: The self-centering feature allows for easy use, reducing the need for precise alignment and making bore conditioning accessible for various skill levels.
• Cost-Effective Maintenance: Facilitates the reconditioning of cylinders, offering an economical alternative to full component replacement and extending the service life of existing parts.
