3M 7000118654 Abrasive Belt 132x2 Inch Ao Cloth Gray

Product Description

The 3M 7000118654 is a Trizact 237AA abrasive belt designed for intermediate finishing and fine polishing in demanding industrial applications. It uses 3M microreplication technology, where micron-graded aluminum oxide mineral is formed into three-dimensional pyramids and bonded to an X-weight cloth backing. As the pyramids wear during use, fresh sharp mineral is continuously exposed. The result is a consistent cut rate and predictable surface finish throughout the life of the belt. At 132 inches long and 2 inches wide, this belt fits standard wide-belt and narrow-belt finishing equipment used in metal fabrication and surface preparation.

This belt is suited for intermediate finishing and fine polishing on metal workpieces prior to plating, buffing, or coating operations. Its flexible cloth backing conforms to contoured surfaces, making it a practical choice for both manual and robotic belt finishing systems. It performs consistently across extended production runs and is a direct replacement for conventional electrostatically coated abrasive belts where a finer, more repeatable finish is required.

Key Features

• Microreplication technology forms aluminum oxide mineral into self-sharpening pyramidal structures
• Fresh mineral is exposed as pyramids wear, maintaining consistent cut and finish throughout belt life
• Runs cooler than conventional abrasives, reducing heat buildup on workpiece surfaces
• Flexible X-weight cloth backing conforms to contoured geometries
• Three-dimensional abrasive design delivers repeatable finishes in robotic finishing applications
• Produces finer surface finishes than conventional electrostatically coated abrasive belts

Compatibility

Designed for use on standard belt finishing machines accepting 132-inch by 2-inch abrasive belts, commonly used in metal fabrication, aerospace, and precision finishing operations.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by qualified personnel familiar with abrasive belt finishing equipment. Power down and lock out the machine before changing belts. Verify belt tracking and tension according to the equipment manufacturer guidelines before resuming operation. Inspect the belt for tears or damage prior to each use.
