3M 7010326120 Trizact 217EA Abrasive Belt 168x3 Inch Ao

Product Description

The 3M 7010326120 is a Trizact 217EA coated abrasive belt designed for intermediate finishing and fine polishing applications. It uses microreplicated technology in which micron-graded aluminum oxide particles are formed into precisely shaped pyramids and bonded onto a JE-weight rayon cloth backing. As the pyramidal structures wear during use, fresh sharp mineral is continuously exposed, delivering a consistent cut rate and predictable surface finish throughout the belt's service life. The belt measures 168 inches in length and 3 inches in width. It is suited for metalworking environments where surface quality prior to plating or buffing is critical.

This belt is used in intermediate stock removal and fine polishing operations on metal components. The flexible JE-weight rayon backing conforms to contoured and complex surfaces, making it well suited for both flat-pass and contour finishing work. The consistent cut and long abrasive life make it a reliable choice for robotic and automated finishing lines where predictable output is required. It is also appropriate for light-pressure manual operations where controlled breakdown of the abrasive is needed to maintain finish consistency.

Key Features

• Microreplicated aluminum oxide pyramids continuously expose fresh mineral as they wear, maintaining consistent cut throughout belt life
• JE-weight rayon cloth backing conforms to contoured surfaces for uniform finishing results
• Produces finer surface finishes than conventional coated abrasive belts
• Grinding aid integrated into the construction helps prevent heat-related warping and workpiece discoloration
• Consistent performance makes this belt well suited for robotic and automated finishing applications
• Designed for intermediate finishing and fine polishing prior to plating or buffing operations

Compatibility

Designed as a replacement-style abrasive belt for industrial belt grinders and finishing machines that accept a 168-inch by 3-inch belt configuration.

Installation Notes

Installation and tensioning of abrasive belts should be performed by qualified personnel following the machine manufacturer's guidelines. Power down and lock out the belt grinder before mounting or removing the belt. Inspect the contact wheel, platen, and tracking components for wear before installing a new belt. Ensure belt direction arrows, if present, are aligned with the machine's drive direction before resuming operation.
