OVERVIEW

Industrial Grade Finishing with Pferd POLIFAN

The Pferd 62263 POLIFAN Flap Disc is part of the Superior (PSF) line, engineered to meet the rigorous demands of industrial metal fabrication. This 5-inch abrasive disc utilizes high-quality Zirconia Alumina (Z) grain, a material renowned for its toughness and self-sharpening properties. Unlike standard aluminum oxide discs that dull quickly under thermal stress, Zirconia Alumina maintains its cutting efficiency even during extended grinding sessions on hard materials like stainless steel and carbon steel.

Designed with a Type 29 conical profile, this flap disc features angled flaps that increase surface contact area when the grinder is held at a standard 15-25 degree angle. This configuration is particularly advantageous for stock removal on contours and edges, allowing the operator to apply higher contact pressure without gouging the workpiece. The 120 grit specification makes this specific SKU an excellent choice for the final stages of fabrication, such as blending weld seams, removing light scratches, and preparing surfaces for painting or coating.

For procurement managers and shop foremen, the Pferd POLIFAN series represents a smart investment in consumable efficiency. The robust construction ensures consistent performance until the abrasive cloth is worn down, minimizing downtime associated with frequent disc changes. Whether used in structural steel plants, tank fabrication, or general MRO environments, the 62263 delivers reliable results and operational economy.

Key Industrial Benefits

  • Versatile Application: Effective on both Steel and Stainless Steel (INOX).

FAQ

Type 27 discs are flat and best for blending on flat surfaces at lower angles (0-15 degrees). Type 29 discs, like this Pferd 62263, are conical (angled) and are optimized for contour work, edge grinding, and more aggressive stock removal at angles between 15-25 degrees.

This Zirconia Alumina (Z) disc is designed primarily for use on Steel and Stainless Steel (INOX). It offers excellent performance and longevity on these hard metals compared to standard aluminum oxide.

120 grit is a fine abrasive used for finishing, blending, and cleaning. It is not typically used for heavy stock removal but rather for smoothing out scratches left by coarser grits (like 40 or 60) and preparing the surface for painting or polishing.

No, this flap disc comes with an integrated backing plate (usually fiberglass or plastic) and mounts directly to the angle grinder using the standard flange nut or a quick-change nut.

This disc has a 7/8-inch arbor hole, which is the industry standard for 4.5-inch, 5-inch, and 7-inch angle grinders in North America.

While it can physically grind aluminum, Zirconia discs may 'load' or clog with soft aluminum material. For aluminum, specialized discs with coatings to prevent loading are generally recommended, though this can work for short tasks.

The POLIFAN Superior (PSF) line is Pferd's general-purpose industrial line. It offers a high stock removal rate and long service life at an economical price point, making it suitable for broad trade and industrial use.
