3M 7000118652 Abrasive Belt 72x2 Inch Aluminum Oxide

Product Description

The 3M 7000118652 is a Trizact 237AA abrasive belt engineered for intermediate finishing and fine polishing applications in industrial and metalworking environments. It uses 3M microreplication technology, where micron-graded aluminum oxide particles are formed into three-dimensional pyramids and bonded to an X-weight cloth backing. As the abrasive pyramids wear down during use, fresh, sharp mineral is continuously exposed, delivering a consistent cut rate and a predictable, fine surface finish from the start of the belt's life to the end. The cloth backing provides the flexibility needed to maintain even contact across contoured workpieces. This belt is typically installed and operated by metal finishing technicians and industrial machine operators.

This belt is suited for intermediate finishing and fine polishing on metal prior to plating or buffing operations. It is well-matched to robotic and automated belt grinding applications where consistent, repeatable finishes across high part volumes are required. The three-dimensional abrasive structure maintains finish consistency throughout the full abrasive life, making it a reliable choice for tight-tolerance surface preparation work in production environments.

Key Features

• Microreplication technology forms aluminum oxide into self-sharpening pyramids that continuously expose fresh mineral as they wear
• Runs cooler than conventional abrasives, reducing heat buildup on workpieces
• X-weight cloth backing provides flexibility for consistent contact over contoured surfaces
• Three-dimensional abrasive design delivers repeatable, consistent finishes in robotic and automated applications
• Produces finer surface finishes than conventional electrostatically coated abrasives
• Designed for intermediate finishing and fine polishing prior to plating or buffing

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or direct-fit abrasive belt for industrial belt grinders and finishing machines accepting 72 inch by 2 inch belts.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by qualified machine operators or industrial maintenance personnel familiar with belt grinding equipment. Power down and lock out the machine before removing the old belt or installing a new one, following applicable OSHA lockout/tagout procedures. Verify belt tracking and tension per the equipment manufacturer's guidelines before resuming operation. Inspect the belt for tears or edge damage before each use.
