A Power Abrasive Nylon Brush is a common tool for removing burrs and surface roughness

A Power Abrasive Nylon Brush is a common tool for removing burrs and surface roughness. They are used in numerous industries, including aerospace, agriculture, automotive, firearms, and glass processing, to name a few.

These versatile tools come in a variety of grit sizes and materials. They are also available with a choice of silicon carbide or aluminum oxide grits.

Cylindrical Brushes

Cylindrical brushes are the basic type of power brush and are available in a variety of designs with different fill materials and patterns. They can be used to clean a variety of surfaces, including hard floors, stone and grouted floors, toilets, and food processing equipment.

These cylinder brushes have a plastic base, a shaft, and nylon filaments that are tufted up to a certain diameter. They can be custom designed to suit your exact needs by deciding on the total length, outer diameter of the body and shaft, material of the base and filaments, and tuft pattern.

Nylon 66 and 610 are common choices for industrial applications as they are resistant to chemicals and abrasion. They also have good bend recovery and hold their shape well.

Nylon 612 is also a common choice for abrasive nylon brush types as it offers a high abrasion capacity, chemical resistance, and flexibility to be used on non-plane surfaces. Its toughness and resistance to diluted mineral acids makes it ideal for many cleaning applications.

Floor Scrubbers

Floor Scrubbers are a great way to clean hard floors. They replace traditional mops and buckets, allowing workers to clean much larger areas with minimal effort.

Walk-behind and rider floor scrubbers clean hard floors by injecting water with cleaning solutions and scrubbing the flooring. They are ideal for a variety of applications and can be used with or without floor polish or cleaners.

They are also a more hygienic alternative to mopping. Most models use less water and less chemicals than mops.

If you are concerned about a machine's impact on the environment, look for environmental data on its water use and chemical usage. Some models are designed with special brush designs that minimise water and chemicals.

Make sure the scrubber has simple controls and a user-friendly screen. This will mean that operators can use it quickly and safely, avoiding the risk of damaging or misusing the equipment.

Cup Brushes

Cup Brushes are a common type of power brush, usually suited for surface preparation, deburring and polishing. These brushes come in different duty levels and fill materials. They are designed for use with portable power tools, such as angle grinders.

They have a ring-shaped base that holds bristles in a tight space, making them ideal for flat or curved parts and surfaces. They are commonly used to remove rust, scale, paint, and other surface contaminates.

Wire cup brushes are made in crimped wire or knotted (twist) wire formats and are available in a variety of sizes and diameters. Crimped wires produce a fine finish while knotted wires are more aggressive and designed for heavy, abrasive removal applications.

Abrasive nylon brush products are a plastic-like material constructed from many stiff and rigid strands of nylon filaments that are embedded with abrasive materials such as aluminum oxide grits. These nylon strands are designed to be more durable and last longer than steel or brass wire brushes.

End Brushes

Weiler Abrasives' Power Abrasive Nylon Brush is used to deburr and polish surfaces that have been machined. Its nylon filaments are impregnated with abrasive grit and then set into molded cores for higher fill density and increased durability.

These brushes are available in many different shapes and sizes. They are ideal for a variety of cleaning and finishing applications on metals, wood, plastic, stone and ceramic materials.

The best way to use wire brushes is to match the wire diameter to the workpiece material. Carbon steel, stainless steel, brass and nylon are all common choices for different workpiece types.

Osborn Miniature Wire End Brushes feature fine crimped wire and small brush diameter for quick and efficient cleaning of inside diameters, spot facing, and recessed areas. Quality construction provides longer brush life. These brushes come with a 1/4" shank and are easily attached to hand-held power tools.
