Fluid technology

We also supply pump manufacturers and manufacturers of hydraulic cylinders with Flex-Hone® tools and industrial abrasive brushes. Because small burrs in aluminum sleeves required costly and time-consuming manual deburring, a manufacturer of pneumatically driven liquid pumps opted for Flex-Hone® tools to speed up processes and improve surface quality. After the metal sleeves have been machined and drilled, Flex-Hone® is mounted in a standard drill chuck and used to remove miniature burrs that could damage the fluid pump O-rings.

Hydraulic cylinder manufacturers use Flex-Hone® to create a plateau surface finish for optimum lubrication. By eliminating surface irregularities and smoothing peaks and valleys, Flex-Hone® reduces oil consumption and supports the anti-wear performance of hydraulic oils. With its soft cutting action and low-temperature abrasion process, this unique product is also used for metallic hydraulic motor bodies. Our abrasive nylon brushes are the right choice for cleaning and deburring machined threads.
