Brush Research
Manufacturing (BRM) supplies wheel brushes
for a wide variety of surface finishing applications, including cleaning,
polishing, blending, deburring, and surface preparation. These BRM power
brushes are available in many different types and sizes, and feature brush filaments
made of brass, carbon steel,
stainless steel, nylon, abrasive nylon, or Tampico.
When selecting wheel
brushes, brush type is an especially important consideration. There are two main
types of BRM wire wheels: knotted and crimped. Abrasive nylon wheels provide a
safe, non-reactive alternative to wire wheel brushes, and come in several different
abrasive types and grit selections. Tampico wheels and mandrel-mounted industrial brushes are also
available.
Wire Wheel Brushes
Knotted wire wheel brushes are
durable, flexible brush tools that provide heavy-duty brushing action. Designed
for aggressive cutting and cleaning applications, these power brushes have
tufts that reduce fatigue by absorbing vibrations. BRM supplies knotted wire
wheels with either standard or cable twists in medium and wide face sizes.
Stringer bead brushes have a very narrow width face, and are used to prepare
the surfaces of small channels and grooves prior to pipe welding.
Crimped wire wheel brushes are
made of oil-tempered, crimped metal wire and used in applications ranging from
light deburring and pipe cleaning to edge blending and rust removal. These BRM
power brushes are designated for standard-duty, heavy-duty, or super-duty use,
and are specified by face width, filament material, and filament size. Fast and
efficient, crimped wire wheels provide a uniform brushing action and can have
brass, carbon steel, or stainless steel filaments.
Abrasive Nylon Wheels and Nylon Wheel Brushes
Abrasive nylon wheel brushes
offer a safe, non-reactive alternative to wire brushes for the deburring of
extrusion cut-offs. Available in diameters ranging from 6” to 14”, abrasive
nylon wheels feature flexible nylon filaments with aluminum oxide (AO) or
silicon carbide (SC) abrasives in a wide range of grits. These industrial
brushes are suitable for use with most pedestal grinders, and remove burrs and
improve finish without disturbing the underlying surface.
Nylon wheel brushes are
designed for light-duty deburring, cleaning, polishing, and surface finishing
applications. Made with high-quality 6-12 nylon filaments, these brushing tools
offer abrasive resistance, excellent fatigue life, and chemical resistance to
most solvents. Nylon wheels can be used dry or with a lubricant, and are
available in a variety of diameters for controlled brushing action.
Tampico Wheel Brushes and Mandrel Mounted Wheels
Tampico wheel brushes feature
tough, oil and heat resistant filaments derived from a cactus plant that grows
in northern Mexico. These natural fiber wheels are designed for wet or dry
applications, including polishing chrome and deburring decorative surfaces. For
tough applications, Tampico power brushes are often used with a grease-type
abrasive stick or polishing compounds.
Mandrel mounted wheel brushes
have integral shafts or shanks that eliminate the need for a separate adaptor
when using them with handheld power tools such as electric drills, or
production equipment such as automated CNC machinery. Mandrel mounted wheels can
have abrasive nylon or steel filaments, and feature a flared or standard face.
Flared brush tools allow for finishing on undercuts, shoulders, and
hard-to-reach areas.
