OVERVIEW

Heavy-Duty Grinding with Pferd POLIFAN SG Z-STRONG

The Pferd 60649 POLIFAN SG Z-STRONG Flap Disc is engineered for industrial environments where efficiency and longevity are paramount. This 7-inch abrasive tool represents the pinnacle of the Performance SG series, designed specifically to outperform standard flap discs in demanding stock removal applications. At the core of its performance is the premium Zirconia Alumina grain, a self-sharpening abrasive that maintains a high cut rate throughout the life of the disc. This makes it an ideal choice for fabrication shops and MRO facilities processing large volumes of steel and stainless steel.

What sets the Z-STRONG version apart is its specialized construction. As indicated by the "Thick" designation, this disc is built with significantly more abrasive cloth than standard counterparts. The extended flap length and high-density arrangement provide a cushioned grinding effect, which not only improves the surface finish but also drastically increases the service life of the tool. For operators, this means fewer disc changes, less downtime, and reduced overall abrasive costs per project. The Type 29 conical profile further enhances productivity by allowing for a more aggressive angle of attack, making it perfect for grinding out welds, chamfering edges, and contouring irregular surfaces.

Durability is ensured by a robust fiberglass backing that withstands the high torque and pressure associated with 7-inch angle grinders running at speeds up to 8,600 RPM. The 60 grit abrasive offers a versatile middle ground, capable of removing heavy weld seams while leaving a surface finish that is often paint-ready or easily refined. Whether you are working on structural steel, tank fabrication, or heavy machinery repair, the Pferd 60649 delivers the consistent, high-performance results required by professional tradespeople.

Key Industrial Benefits

  • Extended Service Life: The Z-STRONG design packs more abrasive material onto the disc, outlasting standard discs and reducing inventory turnover.
  • Versatile Application: Optimized for both carbon steel and stainless steel (INOX), reducing the need to stock multiple disc types.
  • Aggressive Stock Removal: The Type 29 shape and Zirconia grain combine to remove metal quickly without excessive heat buildup.

FAQ

The 'Thick' or Z-STRONG designation indicates that the disc is built with longer, denser flaps and significantly more abrasive material than a standard disc, providing a longer service life and a cushioned grinding feel.

While Zirconia Alumina can grind aluminum, it is not optimized for it and may load (clog) quickly. For aluminum, a disc with a specialized coating or ceramic grain is recommended to prevent loading.

Type 27 discs are flat and best for blending on flat surfaces. This Type 29 disc is conical (angled), which provides a better angle of attack for aggressive stock removal and contour work.

The maximum operating speed for the Pferd 60649 7-inch flap disc is 8,600 RPM. Always ensure your grinder does not exceed this rating.

No, this flap disc comes with an integrated fiberglass backing plate that mounts directly to the grinder using a standard flange nut or 7/8" arbor adapter.

60 grit is considered an intermediate grit. It is aggressive enough for substantial stock removal but leaves a smoother finish than 36 or 40 grit discs.

Yes, the Zirconia Alumina abrasive is excellent for stainless steel (INOX) as it cuts cool and helps prevent heat discoloration.

Pferd typically packages these 7-inch flap discs in boxes of 10.
