NamPower Small Diameter Nylon Abrasive Disc Brushes (IMTS Booth N-7163)



NamPower nylon abrasive brushes from Brush Research Manufacturing (BRM) are a family of high-performance surface finishing and deburring tools for outer diameter (OD) applications. Ideal for use with automated equipment, NamPower technology includes abrasive disc brushes for maximum burr removal rates and optimum surface improvement. NamPower abrasive disc brushes come in a range of sizes, and are now available in smaller diameters with a specialized tool holder for flow-through cooling.

Sizes and Styles
BRM’s new NamPower mini disc brushes provide greater versatility in harder-to-reach areas, smaller applications, and planetary head mountings. These nylon abrasive brushing tools are supplied in 50-mm, 60-mm, and 80-mm diameters in both dot and turbine styles. Dot style NamPower abrasive disc brushes are recommended for light deburring and edge blending. Turbine style NamPower disc brushes are designed for medium-duty and heavy-duty burr removal.

Both styles of small-diameter NamPower abrasive disc brushes support short cycle times and long brush tool life. Dot style disc brushes provide greater flexibility and support entry into small holes and spaces with ease. Turbine style disc brushes feature a high-density fill for fast cutting. Larger diameter versions of NamPower nylon abrasive disc brushes are available in 100-mm, 125-mm, and 150-mm diameters. All NamPower disc brushes are ideal for automated deburring, edge radiusing, and surface conditioning.

Abrasive Types and Grit Sizes
NamPower miniature nylon abrasive disc brushes come with a unique combination of white ceramic and silicon carbide abrasive for producing maximum burr removal rates and an optimum surface finish at the same time. Available grit sizes for these small-diameter brush tools are 80, 120, 180, and 320. Custom NamPower mini disc brushes are also available, and feature a combination of blue ceramic and silicon carbide, or blue ceramic only. 

The abrasive nylon filaments on NamPower miniature disc brushes conform closely to part contours, wiping and filing across part edges and surfaces. Their linear construction also means that sharp, new abrasive grains constantly come into contact with the work surface, providing consistent deburring action throughout the length of the bristles. Compared to standard ceramic abrasive, the combination of white ceramic and silicon carbide provides excellent value and increased tool life.

Base and Tool Holder
All NamPower abrasive disc brushes are manufactured with a molded thermoplastic base that provides greater rigidity and stability with less vibration. The result is a better balanced brush tool with improved performance and longer tool life. BRM also supplies flow-through tool holders that allow coolant to flow from the brush center instead of supplying lubricant from only the outside. This lets the brush tool cut at greater depths and reduces heat generation dramatically.

BRM’s new small-diameter NamPower abrasive disc brushes feature a flow-through tool holder with a 16-mm shank. Available for both dot style and turbine style mini disc brushes, these special tool holders are heat-treated, precision ground, and PVD coated for improved corrosion resistance. As with the tool holders for larger diameter NamPower disc brushes, coolant flows through from the brush center, resulting in better lubricant dispersion.
