Cleco 543024 Hook Loop Disc Backing Pad 5/16-24 13000 Rpm

Product Description

The CLECO 543024 is a hard-density hook and loop disc backing pad designed for use with random orbital sanders. It accepts abrasive discs via a hook and loop fastening system, allowing quick disc changes without adhesives or mechanical fasteners. The pad threads onto the sander spindle using a 5/16-24 thread and is rated to a maximum of 13,000 RPM. Hard density construction maintains a flat, consistent backing surface across the disc face, helping ensure even material removal and reduced disc distortion during aggressive sanding operations. This part is installed by HVAC technicians, tradespeople, and service professionals who rely on random orbital sanders for surface preparation and finishing work.

The 543024 is suited for surface preparation tasks in trade and light industrial environments where random orbital sanders are used. Typical applications include metal surface prep, paint removal, weld cleanup, and finish sanding. The hook and loop interface is compatible with standard hook and loop abrasive discs sized for the pad diameter. It is well-suited for shop use or field work where fast disc changeovers are needed during multi-grit sanding sequences.

Installation Notes

Thread the backing pad onto the sander spindle by hand, ensuring the 5/16-24 thread is fully engaged before operation. Always confirm the tool is disconnected from its power source or air supply before installing or removing the backing pad. Do not exceed the 13,000 RPM maximum speed rating. Inspect the pad surface for wear or damage before each use and replace if the hook material shows significant wear or if the pad is deformed.
