3M 7010326307 Trizact 217EA Abrasive Belt 15.5x3.5 Inch Ao

Product Description

The 3M 7010326307 is a Trizact 217EA coated abrasive belt designed for intermediate finishing and fine polishing applications. It uses proprietary microreplication technology in which micron-graded aluminum oxide mineral is formed into tiny pyramids and bonded to a JE-weight rayon backing. As the pyramids wear, fresh sharp mineral is continuously exposed, producing a consistent cut rate and predictable fine finish throughout the life of the belt. At 15.5 inches long and 3.5 inches wide, this belt is sized for a range of inline and stroke belt sanders used in metal fabrication and finishing operations. A built-in grinding aid helps control heat, reducing the risk of heat-related warping or discoloration on sensitive workpieces.

This belt is suited for light-pressure finishing operations on metal components prior to plating or buffing. The flexible JE-weight backing conforms to contoured surfaces, making it effective on parts with irregular geometry. Its consistent cut and long abrasive life also make it well suited for automated and robotic sanding applications where repeatability is critical. Typical users include metal fabricators, aerospace finishing shops, and precision grinding operations requiring controlled surface finishes.

Key Features

• Microreplicated aluminum oxide pyramids continuously expose fresh mineral for consistent cut throughout belt life
• JE-weight rayon backing flexes over contoured and irregular surfaces
• Grinding aid reduces heat buildup to prevent warping and discoloration
• Produces finer finishes than conventional coated abrasive belts
• Consistent performance supports use in robotic and automated finishing systems
• Designed for intermediate finishing and fine polishing before plating or buffing

Compatibility

Designed as a replacement or production abrasive belt for inline belt sanders and stroke sanders accepting a 15.5 inch by 3.5 inch belt in metal finishing and fabrication environments.

Installation Notes

Belt installation should be performed by the machine operator following the sander manufacturer's guidelines for belt tensioning and tracking. Power down and de-energize the sander before changing the belt. Verify belt direction arrows align with the machine's intended rotation direction before resuming operation. Wear appropriate PPE including eye protection and gloves when handling abrasive belts.
