3M 7010364987 Abrasive Belt 132x5.5 Inch Ao Cloth Gray

Product Description

The 3M 7010364987 is a Trizact 237AA abrasive belt designed for intermediate finishing and fine polishing in metalworking 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, delivering a consistent cut rate and predictable surface finish throughout the belt life. At 132 inches long and 5.5 inches wide, this belt fits wide-contact and long-belt finishing machines used in production metalworking environments. It is typically installed and operated by machinists, metal fabricators, or automated finishing system technicians.

This belt is suited for intermediate finishing and fine polishing steps prior to plating or buffing operations on metal workpieces. The flexible cloth backing conforms to contoured surfaces, making it effective for both flat and shaped parts. The three-dimensional abrasive structure is particularly well-suited to robotic and automated finishing applications where consistent, repeatable surface finishes are required across high production volumes. It produces finer finishes than conventional electrostatically coated abrasive belts of comparable grit designation.

Key Features

• Microreplication technology forms aluminum oxide into self-sharpening abrasive pyramids for consistent cut and finish
• Self-sharpening pyramid structure runs cooler than conventional abrasives, reducing heat-related workpiece damage
• X weight cloth backing provides flexibility for finishing over contoured and complex geometries
• Three-dimensional abrasive design delivers repeatable finishes in robotic and automated applications
• Produces finer surface finishes than conventional electrostatically coated abrasive belts
• Designed for intermediate finishing and fine polishing prior to plating or buffing

Compatibility

Designed for use on wide-contact belt finishing machines and long-belt grinders that accept a 132-inch by 5.5-inch abrasive belt. Suitable for metalworking applications involving steel, stainless steel, and non-ferrous metals where controlled surface finish prior to plating or buffing is required.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by qualified machine operators or maintenance technicians following the equipment manufacturer's belt tensioning and tracking procedures. Power down and lock out the machine before installing or replacing the belt. Verify belt orientation if the abrasive is directional, and confirm proper tension to prevent tracking issues during operation. Always wear appropriate PPE including eye protection and gloves when handling and mounting abrasive belts.
