Scotch-Brite™ Surface Conditioning Low Stretch Belt, SC-BL, A/O Medium, 2 in x 72 in

Product Description

Advantages of Scotch-Brite™ Surface Conditioning Low Stretch Belt

• Durable cloth / polyester scrim backing is ideal for low-stretch applications
• May be used on a variety of substrates, from stainless steel to brass
• Available in a variety of minerals, grades and belt types, so operators can choose the right combination for their application
• Springy non-woven nylon fibers finish while maintaining the geometry of the piece
• Open web is load resistant, prolonging abrasive service life

Among Scotch-Brite™ Surface Conditioning Belts, the Scotch-Brite™ Surface Conditioning Low Stretch Belt falls right in the middle in terms of its durability and flexibility. Its moderate strength makes it versatile and useful in many sequences — cutting aggressively without marring the substrate.

Designed for cleaning, finishing and light deburring
Given that the Scotch-Brite™ Surface Conditioning Low Stretch Belt balances durability with flexibility, it’s a good match for cleaning, finishing and light deburring applications. It performs best on steel and stainless steel, carbon, titanium and nickel alloys, but it may also be used on aluminum, copper, brass and soft, non-ferrous metals. We offer the Scotch-Brite™ Surface Conditioning Low Stretch Belt in many variations, so operators can find the right belt for their unique project.

Minerals, Grades and Belt Types

We engineer the Scotch-Brite™ Surface Conditioning Low Stretch Belt using aluminum oxide and silicon carbide minerals. Combinations include: aluminum oxide medium (A MED), aluminum oxide very fine (A VFN), aluminum oxide coarse (A CRS), silicon carbide medium (S MED), silicon carbide super fine (S SFN), silicon carbide very fine (S VFN). Aluminum oxide cuts softer but lasts longer than silicon carbide. It’s a good mineral for projects where a soft scratch is desirable — perhaps on softer metals or workpieces where gouging and undercutting are a primary concern.

Conversely, silicon carbide is a good match for projects where a coarser, more aggressive cut is desired. Moving along the spectrum of grades, choose a fine grade for finer finishes and medium or coarse grades for coarser finishes. Our Scotch-Brite™ Surface Conditioning Low Stretch Belt is intended for use in “low stretch” applications when a standard scrim belt is stretching on the machine or when less conformability is desired. The low-stretch belt is resistant to wear and sharp edges — rendering it useful in a variety of industries, from transportation to metal fabrication.

The belt is available in different types: file, narrow, portable, pump sleeve and wide & flat finishing. Operators should consider tools, surface area, contours and dimensions of a workpiece when choosing a belt. Narrow belts, for example, are commonly used in benchstand and backstand applications. Pump sleeves, on the other hand, are fitted around expander wheels and used for finishing large equipment that cannot be moved.
