Flex‑Hone – Precision Surface Finishing and Burr Removal for Optimum Performance
The Flex‑Hone tool is the ideal solution for internal finishing of cylinders, hydraulic components and cross holes, creating a plateau‑honed surface that maximises component performance.
Advantages of the Flex‑Hone tool
- Superior surface quality: The characteristic cross‑hatched pattern reduces friction, minimises wear and extends service life.
- Self‑centring and flexible: The brush conforms automatically to bore geometry, delivering uniform results without complex set‑ups.
- Efficient cross‑hole deburring: Sharp edges and burrs in intersecting passages are removed cleanly without affecting the parent geometry.
Fields of application
The Flex‑Hone tool is used throughout automotive, hydraulic, pneumatic and aerospace manufacturing. Typical tasks include:
- Cylinder honing: Improves surface texture to ensure low‑friction movement of pistons and other mating parts.
- Deburring cross holes and edges: Ideal for precise edge rounding in valves, manifolds and bore intersections where a burr‑free surface is essential.
- Fine finishing: Perfect for rework and preparation of components that demand a premium surface quality.
Summary
The Flex‑Hone system provides an efficient, cost‑effective method of achieving high‑grade surface finishes and controlled edge breaking, making it an indispensable tool for precision industrial applications.
