48101 - Pferd 4-1/2" Combiclick Surface Conditioning Disc - Medium

Advanced Surface Conditioning with Thermal Control

The Pferd 48101 COMBICLICK Surface Conditioning Disc represents a significant advancement in abrasive technology, specifically designed to address the common challenges of heat generation and downtime in industrial finishing operations. This 4-1/2 inch disc utilizes a medium-grade Aluminum Oxide grain embedded in a durable non-woven nylon mesh. This construction allows for aggressive yet controlled material removal, making it an ideal choice for blending, deburring, and finishing applications across a wide range of materials, including stainless steel, carbon steel, and aluminum.

At the core of this product's performance is the patented COMBICLICK mounting system. Unlike traditional fibre discs or hook-and-loop systems, COMBICLICK utilizes a specialized backing pad with a geometry that promotes active airflow. Cooling slots on the back of the disc work in conjunction with the backing pad to channel air directly to the contact zone. This innovative design significantly reduces the thermal load on both the abrasive material and the workpiece. Lower temperatures prevent the "smearing" often associated with surface conditioning materials and reduce the risk of heat discoloration on sensitive alloys like stainless steel.

The "Medium" grade specification offers a versatile balance between stock removal and surface finish refinement. It is aggressive enough to remove light oxidation, surface imperfections, and weld discoloration, yet fine enough to leave a consistent, satin-like finish suitable for pre-polishing or final cosmetic treatments. The quick-change mechanism ensures that operators can switch between grits or replace worn discs in seconds, minimizing non-productive time and maximizing throughput in high-volume production environments.

Industrial Applications

• Weld Blending: Seamlessly blends weld seams into the base material without undercutting.
• Surface Preparation: Cleans surfaces prior to coating or painting by removing rust and contaminants.
• Deburring: Removes light burrs from machined or stamped parts.
• Finishing: Creates a uniform scratch pattern on stainless steel tanks, vessels, and architectural components.
