Industrial Brush Related Terms
– Long-wearing material available
in several filament diameters and grit sizes. Abrasive nylon is excellent
for surface finishing applications.
– A light brownish, very coarse fiber that is typically
used in street brooms.
– The diameter of the brush-mounting hole.
– Inside diameter of a core or hub for a roller brush.
– Rust-proof and spark resistant, brass provides gentle
brushing action.
– The material that does the actual cleaning or cutting. Bristles
can be made of natural, synthetic or metal material.
– Stiffer than brass with the same non-sparking benefits
as brass.
– The length of the brush area on a core. Brush
parts can be the same or shorter than the overall length
– A non-marking synthetic brush fiber that can
take the static charge created by the brushing action and send it to
the ground.
– Diameter of a cylindrical brush core.
– Filament that has been composed with a wave pattern and
is measured by amplitude and frequency.
– Part of a twisted in wire brush where the wire has been
flush cut at the brush part end.
– A drive shaft that powers cylindrically shaped brushes. The
brushes are part of an industrial or manufacturing process that requires
a clean conveyor or product at a particular point in the process.
– A twisted in wire brush where the filament has been
gathered to create a tuft parallel to the twist wire.
– Width of the brush face when the brush is in operation.
Filament is usually stiffer acting and eliminates streakage.
– A seamed or seamless steel tube that gathers and binds
bristles in paint brushes.
– The synthetic fibers that are used to create a brush
tuft.
– Thickness of a single filament or wire size
in inches. Nylon ranges from .003” to .125” and wire
from .003” - .020”.
– Filament whose ends have been splintered by a series
of knives to produce a softer-tipped brush.
– Very fine and soft animal hair that is used for very
short trim brushes.
– Animal hair that has soft to slightly stiff texture.
The natural flagging of hog bristles allows the brush to fit into cracks
to remove fine dust.
– A resilient and long lasting fiber that is excellent
for sweeping polished surfaces.
– The straight filament or wire of a brush.
– The toughest and longest wearing synthetic filament available.
Nylon is excellent for industrial and food service applications.
– Also called “flat wire,” it is
a stiff, hard-working, resilient wire used in hand-scratch and power-driven
brushes.
– The diameter of a cylindrical brush measured
at the filament ends.
– The length of a brush, usually measured
as the length of the core.
– A medium stiff to stiff textured vegetable fiber made
from the leaf stalks of the Palmyra Palm of India. Palmyra can be mixed
with Tampico to produce Union Fibre.
– A synthetic, long-wearing alternative to palmetto that
resists acids, alkalis and organic solvents better than any natural bristle
material.
– A slightly stiffer,
more durable selected grade of polished tampico.
– The distance between the tufts usually given by a row
and column distance measurement for block brushes and by tufts per circumference
and spacing for cylindrical brushes.
– A non-ferrous, non-corrosive material with
more temper than brass.
– The distance between wraps on a coil brush.
– A synthetic brush material that is large in diameter
and resistant to abrasion and most solvents and acids.
– A cylindrical brush that has a plastic core.
– Heat and moisture resistant synthetic filament. Polyester
is also resistant to petroleum products, acetones, ketones, alcohols
and weak acids.
– A material that has excellent wet stiffness and
is resistant to most petroleum solvents, oils, greases, most acids and
chemicals.
– Any process that uses a power-driven, rotating
industrial brush to deburr, clean or finish a metal part.
– Rust-proof and very strong, stainless steel
is used to prevent harmful ferrous deposits on brushed parts.
– A soft, magnetic material used for light
material removal and for surface finishing of soft materials. Steel low
carbon wire will rust easily.
– A natural vegetable fiber that can be used wet or dry
for scrubbing, washing and dusting applications and can be treated for
applications of grease or abrasives.
– Length of brush filament from the core.
– A process that utilizes high frequencies of
sound to weld the base of a brush to the fill material.
