Key Features

• Self-Centering Design: The flexible, self-aligning nature of the Flex-Hone ensures uniform pressure across the bore, delivering a consistent, non-directional surface finish.
• Silicon Carbide Abrasive: Features high-quality silicon carbide abrasive globules that efficiently deburr, clean, and polish cylinder walls.
• 240 Grit for Precision Finish: Engineered with 240 grit abrasive to achieve an optimal plateau finish, crucial for proper seal seating and lubricant retention.
• Precisely Sized for Small Bores: Specifically designed with a 5MM (.197") diameter for exact fit and effective honing in small brake cylinders and similar applications.
• Durable Construction: Made to withstand rigorous use, providing reliable performance for reconditioning tasks.

Applications

• Brake Cylinder Reconditioning: Ideal for resurfacing and restoring brake master cylinders, wheel cylinders, and clutch cylinders in automotive, motorcycle, and light industrial equipment.
• Hydraulic and Pneumatic Cylinder Maintenance: Suitable for honing small-diameter hydraulic and pneumatic cylinder bores to improve sealing and operational efficiency.
• Surface Finishing for Sealing: Prepares internal bore surfaces to ensure proper seating and reduced wear of O-rings, seals, and piston rings.
• Corrosion and Glaze Removal: Effectively removes rust, corrosion, carbon deposits, and glaze from cylinder walls, enhancing the performance and longevity of components.

Benefits

• Optimized Seal Performance: Creates a uniform, cross-hatched plateau finish that significantly improves seal seating and reduces fluid leakage, leading to more reliable system operation.
• Extended Component Lifespan: By removing wear debris and improving the surface finish, the Flex-Hone prolongs the life of seals, pistons, and the cylinder itself.
• Enhanced Braking Reliability: Contributes to a more consistent and responsive braking system by ensuring optimal friction between seals and cylinder walls.
• Cost-Effective Maintenance: Offers an efficient and economical solution for reconditioning worn or corroded cylinders, avoiding the higher cost of complete component replacement.
• Reduced Break-in Period: The consistent and precise surface finish promotes faster break-in for new seals and rings, allowing for immediate operational efficiency.
