(41mm, 51mm, 60mm) Brake Cylinder Ball Flex-Hone Kit 240SC Grit - Brush Research

Specifications

The BCKC brake cylinder ball flex-hone kit is designed for precision surface finishing. It features a robust construction from Brush Research Manufacturing Co., Inc. This kit includes multiple hone sizes: 41mm, 51mm, and 60mm, to accommodate various brake cylinder diameters. The abrasive is 240SC grit, which denotes Silicon Carbide, providing an effective cutting action. The product weighs 0.81 lbs, making it manageable for automotive and hydraulic system maintenance.

Key Features

• Silicon Carbide (SC) Abrasive: Utilizes 240SC grit for efficient material removal and a superior finish in brake cylinders.
• Flexible Ball-Style Design: Conforms to the cylinder bore, ensuring uniform pressure and a consistent cross-hatch pattern.
• Self-Centering Action: Automatically aligns itself within the cylinder, simplifying operation and reducing the risk of uneven wear.
• Deburring and Edge Radiusing: Effectively removes burrs and creates a radiused edge on ports, enhancing overall cylinder integrity.
• Multiple Diameter Hones: Includes 41mm, 51mm, and 60mm hones to address a range of brake cylinder sizes within a single kit.

Applications

This brake cylinder ball flex-hone kit is specifically engineered for reconditioning and finishing brake cylinders in automotive and motorcycle applications. It is ideal for restoring hydraulic brake components, including master cylinders, wheel cylinders, and caliper bores. The kit effectively prepares surfaces for new seals by removing glaze and minor imperfections. This honing tool can also be applied to other small hydraulic cylinders requiring a precise surface finish and consistent bore geometry.

Benefits

• Restores Braking Performance: Achieves an optimal surface finish, crucial for proper piston ring seating and hydraulic sealing, which directly contributes to reliable brake operation.
• Extends Component Lifespan: By removing corrosion, glaze, and minor surface defects, the hone helps prevent premature wear of seals and cylinders, prolonging the life of brake system components.
• Prevents Fluid Leaks: Creates a consistent cross-hatch pattern that allows brake fluid to properly lubricate seals while preventing leaks and ensuring efficient hydraulic pressure.
• Improves Seal Durability: The controlled surface finish minimizes abrasive wear on piston seals, enhancing their longevity and performance.
• User-Friendly Operation: The self-centering and flexible design allows for straightforward use, enabling both professional mechanics and skilled DIY enthusiasts to achieve professional results.
