3M 7010360969 Abrasive Belt 37x2.37 Inch Ao Rayon

Product Description

The 3M 7010360969 is a Trizact 217EA coated abrasive belt engineered for intermediate finishing and fine polishing applications. It uses proprietary microreplication technology in which micron-graded aluminum oxide particles are formed into precisely shaped pyramids and bonded to a JE-weight rayon cloth backing. As the pyramids wear, fresh, sharp mineral is continuously exposed, producing a consistent cut rate and a predictable, fine surface finish from the first pass to the last. The belt is 37 inches long and 2.37 inches wide and weighs 0.14 pounds. It is used by metal finishing technicians, fabricators, and automated system operators.

This belt is designed for light to moderate pressure finishing on metal components prior to plating, buffing, or coating. The flexible JE-weight rayon backing conforms to contoured and profiled surfaces, making it well suited for both hand-held and machine-driven applications. Its consistent cut rate and extended abrasive life make it a reliable choice for robotic and automated belt finishing lines where repeatability is critical. A grinding aid is incorporated into the construction to reduce heat buildup, helping prevent workpiece warping and discoloration during extended finishing passes.

Key Features

• Microreplicated aluminum oxide pyramids continuously expose fresh mineral as they wear, maintaining consistent cut throughout belt life
• JE-weight rayon cloth backing flexes over contoured and profiled surfaces for uniform finishing
• Grinding aid reduces heat buildup to minimize warping and discoloration of workpieces
• Produces finer finishes than conventional coated abrasives of comparable grit
• Consistent performance makes this belt well suited for robotic and automated finishing applications
• Intended for intermediate finishing and fine polishing prior to plating or buffing

Compatibility

Designed for use on belt finishing machines and automated robotic finishing systems that accept 37-inch by 2.37-inch abrasive belts. Suitable for metal finishing applications requiring consistent, fine surface preparation.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified machine operator or finishing technician following the belt sander or finishing machine manufacturer's guidelines. Ensure the machine is fully powered down and locked out before changing belts. Confirm belt tracking and tension according to equipment specifications before resuming operation. Follow applicable workplace safety standards for abrasive operations, including appropriate PPE for dust and heat exposure.
