Pressure spring

Pressure spring

for OURAGAN sanders 

The wheel pressure spring is an essential mechanical part that plays a crucial role in maintaining the pressure of the wheels on the surface to be sanded. This part is located near the wheel adjustment mechanism.

The role of the pressure spring is to provide a constant compression force on the sander wheels. This force enables the wheels to maintain adequate contact with the surface to be sanded, ensuring uniform and efficient sanding. The pressure spring ensures that the wheels exert a constant pressure on the surface, which is essential for achieving high-quality sanding results, whether removing material or producing smooth finishes.

When should I consider changing the pressure spring in the belt sander's wheel train?

1. Loss of pressure: if the pressure spring loses its compression force, the sander wheels may not exert adequate pressure on the surface to be sanded. This can lead to uneven sanding, mediocre results or even a reduction in the sander's overall efficiency. If you notice that the wheels are not maintaining sufficient pressure on the surface, or if sanding becomes uneven, this may be due to a loss of spring pressure. In this case, it is necessary to change the spring to restore the correct sanding pressure.

2. Damage: shocks, impacts or inappropriate use can damage the pressure spring, which can compromise its ability to provide a constant compression force to the wheels.

In conclusion, the wheelset pressure spring is a crucial mechanical part that ensures uniform and efficient sanding by maintaining constant pressure on the wheels. If you notice any signs of pressure loss or damage to the spring, we recommend that you replace it. Make sure you choose a quality replacement pressure spring and follow the manufacturer's instructions for installation. Regular replacement of the pressure spring will help maintain the belt sander's optimum performance and ensure high-quality sanding results on all surfaces.
