3M 7010364997 Trizact 217EA Abrasive Belt 118x3 Inch Ao

Product Description

The 3M 7010364997 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 particles are formed into precisely shaped pyramids and bonded to a JE-weight rayon cloth backing. As the pyramidal structures wear during use, fresh, sharp mineral is continuously exposed. This self-renewing cutting action delivers a consistent cut rate and a predictable, fine surface finish across the full life of the belt. Licensed HVAC and mechanical finishers, metalworking fabricators, and automated robotic finishing lines rely on this belt for controlled, repeatable results prior to plating or buffing operations.

This belt is suited for light-pressure finishing on metal components in both production and job-shop environments. Its flexible JE-weight rayon backing conforms to contoured and irregular surfaces, making it effective for finishing complex geometries. The grinding aid integrated into the abrasive structure helps dissipate heat during cutting, reducing the risk of heat-related warping or surface discoloration on workpieces. It is particularly well matched to robotic and automated abrasive finishing systems where consistency and long abrasive life are critical operating requirements. Typical applications include pre-plate and pre-buff polishing of ferrous and non-ferrous metal parts.

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 finish contact
• Integrated grinding aid reduces heat buildup, helping prevent workpiece warping and discoloration
• Produces finer finishes than conventional coated abrasive belts of comparable grit
• 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

Compatibility

Designed for use on belt finishing machines that accept a 118-inch by 3-inch abrasive belt. Suitable for light-pressure applications on ferrous and non-ferrous metal workpieces in production finishing environments.

Installation Notes

Belt installation and tensioning should be performed by qualified personnel following the belt finishing machine manufacturer's guidelines. Power down and lock out the machine before mounting or removing the belt. Verify belt tracking alignment before resuming operation. Inspect the belt and machine contact wheel or platen for wear or damage prior to each use.
