3M 7010328246 Trizact 237AA Abrasive Belt 72x2 Inch Ao

Product Description

The 3M 7010328246 is a Trizact 237AA abrasive belt designed for intermediate finishing and fine polishing applications. 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 pyramids wear down during use, fresh, sharp mineral is continuously exposed. The result is a consistent cut rate and a predictable, repeatable finish across the full life of the belt. At 72 inches long and 2 inches wide, this belt suits wide-format finishing equipment used in metal fabrication and surface prep workflows.

This belt is suited for metal finishing operations where a controlled, fine surface is required before plating, buffing, or coating. The flexible cloth backing conforms to contoured workpiece profiles, making it useful for both flat stock and shaped parts. Its three-dimensional abrasive structure makes it well-suited to robotic and automated finishing lines where consistent output across a full belt run is critical. Fabricators, tool-and-die shops, and metal finishing operations are the primary users.

Key Features

• Microreplication technology forms aluminum oxide into self-sharpening abrasive pyramids
• Self-sharpening pyramid structure runs cooler than conventional coated abrasives
• Produces finer, more consistent finishes than standard electrostatically coated abrasives
• Flexible X-weight cloth backing conforms to contoured surfaces
• Three-dimensional design delivers uniform finishes throughout belt life, ideal for robotic applications
• Designed for intermediate finishing and fine polishing prior to plating or buffing

Compatibility

Designed for use on belt finishing machines that accept 72-inch by 2-inch abrasive belts. Suited for ferrous and non-ferrous metal workpieces in intermediate finishing and pre-plate or pre-buff polishing operations.

Installation Notes

Belt installation should be performed by qualified personnel familiar with the finishing equipment being used. Power down and lock out the machine before changing belts. Verify belt tracking and tension according to the equipment manufacturer's guidelines before resuming operation. Inspect the belt for damage or improper seating before running.
