Brush Research | GBD3 | HD Block Cylinder Flex-Hone - 3 In - 180 Grit BRMGBD3

Specifications

• Model Number: GBD3
• Grit: 180 Grit
• Diameter: 3 inches
• Weight: 1.3 lbs
• Dimensions: 14 x 5 x 5 inches
• Manufacturer: Brush Research Manufacturing Co., Inc.

Key Features

• HD Block Design: Engineered for rigorous industrial applications, ensuring durability and consistent performance. This heavy-duty construction withstands demanding honing conditions.
• Flex-Hone Technology: Features abrasive globules permanently laminated to flexible nylon filaments, allowing the tool to be self-centering and self-aligning within the bore.
• 180 Grit Abrasive: Provides an effective abrasive for deglazing and creating a superior surface finish on cylinder walls.
• 3-Inch Diameter: Specifically designed for precise honing of cylinders with a 3-inch bore, ensuring optimal contact and material removal.

Applications

• Cylinder Deglazing: Efficiently removes glaze from cylinder walls in engines, preparing surfaces for new piston rings.
• Surface Finishing: Creates an ideal plateau finish for optimal oil retention and reduced friction in various cylindrical components.
• Engine Rebuilding: Essential for properly finishing gasoline and diesel engine cylinders during rebuilds or overhauls.
• Hydraulic and Pneumatic Cylinders: Improves sealing and extends the operating life of hydraulic and pneumatic cylinder components by refining the bore surface.
• Brake Cylinders: Prepares brake cylinder bores for rebuilds, ensuring proper function and longevity of braking systems.

Benefits

• Optimized Performance: Establishes a consistent cross-hatch pattern on cylinder walls, promoting better oil retention and improved piston ring seating for enhanced engine efficiency.
• Extended Component Life: Reduces wear on piston rings and cylinder walls by eliminating cut, torn, and folded material, contributing to longer component durability.
• Improved Lubrication: The refined surface finish ensures optimal lubricant distribution across the bore, minimizing friction and heat generation.
• Consistent Results: The self-centering and self-aligning design of the Flex-Hone adapts to minor cylinder variations, delivering a uniform and repeatable finish across the entire surface.
• Enhanced Reliability: Contributes to a more reliable and efficient operation of engines, hydraulic systems, and other cylindrical applications by providing a superior bore finish.
