What Is an Abrasive Belt?
An abrasive belt is a belt-shaped abrasive tool where abrasive particles are solidified with adhesive.
It grinds surfaces by coming into contact with the workpiece while rotating at high speed. Primarily used for polishing metals, wood, plastics, and more, the operational principle involves the high-speed rotation of the abrasive belt, making contact with the workpiece and polishing the surface using abrasive particles.
Abrasive belts find applications in various scenarios such as metalworking, woodworking, plastic processing, and more. The specific mechanism consists of the abrasive belt itself, components that drive its rotation, and a tensioning unit. This arrangement allows for high-speed polishing, enabling adaptation to large surfaces and diverse workpiece shapes.
The characteristics of abrasive belts include fast grinding, applicability to extensive surface areas, and adaptability to various shapes. When using them, it is essential to pay attention to the type and grit size of the abrasive belt.
