Contact Rubber Corp.

Soft Grind Foam Covered Contact Wheels remove stock with a gentle touch and are used in automatic finishing equipment. Contact wheels covered with Soft Grind material are typically used in multi-stationed robotic cells where repeatability of finish is important to the end product. Worn wheels from other manufacturers can be salvaged and recovered with Soft Grind at considerable savings. Soft Grind covering is available on C134, C130 and C200 contact wheels

C200 Contact Wheels utilize aluminum flanges to reduce a 3-12" pilot hole to the required bore size. With the flanges assembled, the wheel has an 1-14" length through the bore making it adaptable to shorter than usual spindles. Both wheels and flanges are dynamically balanced independently for smooth operation. Wheels and flanges may be used interchangeably with products of the same design from other manufacturers. Wheels are made of a heavy-gauge steel core with rubber molded to the diameter. Rubber densities range from 20 to 95 durometers with a plain or serrated face. Standard diameters are 12" and 14" with face widths from 1" to 4" in 12" increments. Dynamically balanced aluminum flanges reduce the 3-12" pilot hole to desired bore size Flanges and wheels are balanced independently to ensure smooth vibration-free operation Standard sizes - 12" and 14" diameter x 1", 2", 3" and 4" widths Wheels may be recovered at significant savings

Our custom state-of-the-art grinding, balancing and serration equipment is the finest available in North America. We are able to groove any angle, diamond, spiral, herringbone or corrugation pattern. Our roll covering materials are formulated to be resistant to ozone, heat and extreme abrasion. And our compounds are tailored to meet exact specifications. CRC furnishes custom-built rollers for a variety of applications: crating, sealing, bag making, wrapping, gluing and abrasive belt grinding and finishing applications. Dependable delivery schedules! Our roller coverings are available in a wide range of hardness, from 20 through 100 durometer.

Constructed using rubber, polyurethane (PU) or ethylene vinyl acetate (EVA), CRC backing pads are offered with hook and loop, pressure sensitive adhesive or locking abrasive interface options. They quickly and easily snap into a shaft or mandrel. Diameter range from 34" to 7" 6, 000 RPM to as high as 40, 000 RPM rotational speeds 50 durometer, 70 durometer and 90 durometer hardness

The slotted expander wheel uses standard coated abrasive sleeves that completely encase the wheel diameter. The abrasive sleeve is held securely in place during operation by centrifugal force created by the wheel's rotation. This wheel may be used for stock removal and general-purpose sanding. One-piece wheel with aluminum core Precision ground to accept standard band sizes Threaded bores available Bored to fit shaft size Standard sizes: 2" to 6" diameters Custom sizes available All sizes may be recovered

The 6" diameter plain face expander wheels use a standard 18-1516" coated abrasive band. Expansion caused by centrifugal force during the wheel's rotation holds the band in place. The smooth surface beneath the abrasive sleeve allows this expander to be used for light sanding and contour finishing with fine grit abrasives. Coarser abrasive sleeves may be used for more aggressive stock removal. Accepts standard 18-1516" abrasive bands 40 durometer hardness - rated for 3, 200 RPM 60 durometer hardness - rated for 3, 650 RPM Standard sizes: 6" diameter x 1" bore Widths: 1", 1-12", 2", 2-12" and 3" Reducing bushings: 12" ID, 58" ID, 34" ID, 78" ID
