Disc-holder spindle M 8 for steel hub for heavy edger

The disc-holder spindle on a flanging machine sanding disc is an essential component that plays a crucial role in holding and rotating the sanding disc. Here are some of the functions and reasons for using a disc-holder spindle:

1. Structural support: The disc arbor acts as a structural support for the sanding disc. It holds the disc in place and allows it to rotate during the sanding operation.

2. Transmission of movement : The disc-holder spindle is connected to the edging machine's drive mechanism. It transmits the rotary movement of the motor through the spindle to the sanding disc, thus ensuring the operation of the sanding device.

3. Height adjustment: In some designs, the disc-holder spindle can be height-adjustable. This allows the depth of cutting or sanding to be adjusted to suit the specific needs of the user.

When to change the spindle will depend on wear, damage or operating problems. Here are a few signs that might indicate it's time to replace this part:

1. Excessive play: If you notice excessive play or lateral movement in the axle, this could indicate severe wear or fixing problems.

2. Unusual noises: Friction, rattling or other unusual sounds during operation may indicate problems with the spindle.

3. Difficulty adjusting height: If the spindle is designed to be height-adjustable and you are having difficulty making these adjustments, this could indicate a problem with the spindle or the adjustment mechanism.

4. Visible wear: A visual inspection of the spindle showing signs of severe wear, corrosion or physical damage is a clear indication that it may be time to replace it.

It is recommended that you consult the Repex Floor manufacturer of your BLO flange machine for model-specific information on replacing the disc spindle.
