Brake Cylinder Flex-Hone - 5/8 x 8 In - 180 Grit BRMBC5/8 - Brush Research

The Brush Research BC5/8 Brake Cylinder Flex-Hone is a professional-grade abrasive tool designed for precise internal diameter finishing in automotive brake cylinders and various industrial hydraulic and pneumatic cylinders. This 5/8 x 8 inch flex-hone, featuring 180 grit silicon carbide abrasive, effectively prepares cylinder walls by deglazing, deburring, and conditioning them to achieve an optimal plateau finish. This critical surface preparation ensures proper sealing, minimizes fluid bypass, and extends the operational life of components.

Key Features

• Flexible Honing Technology: Features a self-centering and self-aligning design that conforms to the bore surface, ensuring uniform material removal and a consistent cross-hatch finish for improved seal performance in critical brake and hydraulic systems.
• 180 Grit Silicon Carbide Abrasive: Utilizes high-quality 180 grit silicon carbide abrasive globules, ideal for effective surface conditioning, deglazing, and deburring, preparing cylinders for new seals and pistons. This medium-grade abrasive is known for its durability and effectiveness.
• Optimal Plateau Finish: Creates a distinct cross-hatch pattern and a plateau finish, which is essential for enhanced oil retention and proper seating of seals, minimizing fluid bypass and leaks in critical systems. This process also leaves the base metal structure undisturbed for a long-wearing surface.
• Professional Durability: Manufactured by Brush Research Manufacturing Co., Inc., the BC5/8 tool is constructed for longevity and reliable performance in demanding reconditioning and maintenance tasks faced by professional technicians.
• Reduced Production Time: The tool's self-centering and self-aligning nature eliminates the need for elaborate, rigid setups, simplifying the deburring process and ensuring consistent results.

Applications

• Automotive Brake Cylinder Reconditioning: Primarily used for deglazing and finishing the internal surfaces of automotive brake cylinders and wheel cylinders, preparing them for new seals and pistons during rebuilds and overhauls.
• Hydraulic and Pneumatic Cylinder Maintenance: Suitable for small-bore hydraulic and pneumatic cylinders requiring precise surface preparation to enhance seal performance and component longevity in industrial equipment.
• General Surface Preparation: Creates an ideal surface finish to ensure proper seating and sealing of piston rings and seals across various hydraulic and pneumatic systems, preventing premature wear and leaks. It is also effective for cross-hole deburring and edge blending.
