Flex-Hones for Internal Bore Finishing
Flex-Hones for Internal Bore Finishing. For heavy applications, where a very even finish is required. Popular across a wide range of engineering industries.
By providing precise, consistent, and high-quality internal surface finishes, Flex-Hones play a crucial role in enhancing the performance and reliability of a wide range of components across various industries.
Flex Hones are not designed for heavy duty material removal, they do not correct bore geometry or shape. Instead they improve the surface finish.
Available in Silicon Carbide, Aluminium Oxide, Boron Carbide, Tungsten Carbide & Aluminium Zirconium with grits ranging from 40-320g.
Due to the large number of sizes and grits available, not all are listed. Please contact us if you require something different (See the chart in the images).
Please note that there is a 7-10 days lead time for all Flex-hones.
Applications:
- Cross hole deburring
- Internal bore surface finishing
- Aerospace
- Hydraulic Systems: Used to finish and deburr hydraulic cylinders and components, ensuring smooth operation and preventing wear and tear.
- Aerospace Components: Applied to finish and improve the surface quality of various aerospace components, ensuring they meet stringent quality and performance standards.
- Automotive
- Engine Cylinder Walls: Used to hone engine cylinder walls to improve the surface finish, which helps in better oil retention and reduces friction.
- Brake Cylinders and Rotors: Applied to finish brake cylinders and rotors, ensuring smooth and efficient braking performance.
- Transmission Components: Used to deburr and finish transmission components, enhancing performance and longevity.
