Coil Wound Metal Back Strip Attachment

Metal Back Strip Attachment to Core, Shaft or Tube

After the straight metal back strip brush is formed, the strip is attached to the core or shaft and wound under tension to make the coiled cylinder brush. We are able to wind the strip right or left handed at the desired pitch to determine the brush density. Strips can be wound in either an open wound or close wound pitch shown below.

OPEN WOUND PITCH for a Less Dense Brush	CLOSE WOUND PITCH for a Full Brush

Tack Weld

Alligator Clip

The finished coil can be assembled to a core or shaft or unassembled for mounting to the customers shaft in the field. Assembled coils can be tack welded or attached with alligator clip to core or shaft. A larger winding pitch provides a less dense brush and conforms better to the surface being brushed. The photos above illustrate a loose or free coil and an assembled coil brush construction.
