POWER TUBE BRUSHES
Wire tube brushes are used on drills, drill presses and other low-speed power tools for internal cleaning and deburring in machined passages and bores, tubing, tapped holes and pipes. At Weiler Abrasives, we have several abrasive pipe cleaners in multiple fill materials and brush configurations to suit any application.
FEATURES OF OUR POWER TUBE BRUSHES
Weiler Abrasives has many wire tube brush designs, including:
- Double stem double spiral: Made of four stem wires and straight wire fill in a double spiral, this brush is aggressive at deburring and cleaning.
- Polyflex™ encapsulated double stem double spiral: The fill material is covered in an elastomer, so only the wire tips are exposed for rigid brushing action.
- Round: This style has a single spiral of crimped wire on a stainless steel stem wire. Its brushing is flexible for threaded blind and smooth holes.
- Burrite: In this design, the crimped wire is on a stainless steel stem and lays flat for deburring and cleaning internal threads.
- Single stem single spiral: This straight wire is in a single spiral and can be manually inserted into the bore.
WIRE TUBE BRUSH SELECTION GUIDE
The filament size required depends upon the burr size — Class 4 and 5 burrs require a large wire, whereas Class 3 burrs need only a fine wire. Regardless of the steel wire bottle brush selected, all of our wire material is of a premium grade for maximum deburring action and minimal fatigue failure.
Our power tube brushes are available in steel or stainless steel compositions. Stainless steel is the recommended choice for workpieces made of non-ferrous materials like stainless steel or aluminum, as carbon steel brushes could cause after-rust and contaminate the surface with ferrous particles.
Weiler Abrasives manufactures many styles of power tube brushes, each relevant to different applications:
- Flat burrite style for blind threaded holes
- Double stem double spiral style for heavy-duty deburring and cleaning with power tools
- Round tube style for threaded blind or smooth holes
- Polyflex encapsulated double stem double spiral style for highly aggressive deburring and cleaning with power tools
- Single stem single spiral style for by-hand or manual applications
APPLICATIONS FOR ABRASIVE PIPE CLEANERS
Tube brushes are effective at internal cleaning and deburring applications, including:
- Crosshole deburring.
- Deburring and cleaning internal threads like those in tapped holes.
- Removing foreign material buildup, like coatings and paint, from bore and passage surfaces.
- Cleaning and finishing tubing and pipe.
