Polishing cloth wheel is widely used in many fields, so does polishing sisal wheels. They differ not only in the type of material but also in other ways. Today we are going to talk about the difference between polishing cloth wheel and polishing sisal wheel.
Polishing Sisal Wheel
The rotating speed of polishing sisal wheel is faster than cloth wheel, the surface of workpiece polished by cloth wheel is brighter than sisal wheel. The cutting force of sisal wheel is larger than cloth wheel, so sisal wheels are more suitable for previous rough polishing to smooth the surface.
For example,
Flat Sisal Wheel
Characteristic
Flat sisal wheel which make of multi- layer combination of sisal & cotton by spiral sewing, is suitable for rough polishing of ferrous/nonferrous metal flat surface or curved surface.(With more cotton can increase elasticity and the ability of absorb polishing compounds. )
SPEC
According to customer’s demand. This kind of wheels generally used in fine polishing, depending on the workpiece material and the quality requirement.
Polishing Cloth Wheel
The polishing speed of cloth wheel is slower than sisal wheel, and the cutting force is weaker than sisal wheel, but it is many times easier to make a mirror surface than sisal wheel. Most of excellent mirror surfaces are produced by cloth wheel, so cloth wheel mainly used in fine polishing.
There are many types of polishing cloth wheels, and widely used in many fields.
For Example,
Flat cloth wheel (Stitched cloth wheel/Non-stitched wheel)
Characteristic
Flat cloth wheels are mostly used for flat workpieces or workpieces with little arc, most of them are used with manual polishing equipment.
Flat cloth wheels are generally sewn with twill cotton and plain cotton by strong sewing, and the grinding force is relatively strong.
SPEC
According to customer’s demand.
Bias Wheel (Airway Buffing Wheel)
Characteristic
Airway wheels are suitable for different kinds of contour surface according to its fabric.
Some airway wheels with special fabric with different thickness spacer, having excellent coverage of the workpiece for surface with large arc, usually used in auto-polishing equipment.
SPEC
According to customer’s demand.
No matter cloth wheel or airway wheel, in different material or different production methods, with different combination, by variety of processing, you can get rough、middle、fine and mirror effects.
