The CGW 48226 is a 7-inch diameter flexible back-up pad designed for use with 5/8-11 threaded arbor discs. This rubber back-up pad supports resin fibre discs during grinding operations, helping to maintain even contact and reduce pad wear. The design includes spiral ribs that create contact points and channels for air flow, which improves cooling and contributes to extending abrasive disc life by an estimated 30% to 50% under typical use. Larger air holes also aid cooling, further supporting longer disc life and more consistent grinding performance. Flexible rubber construction makes this back-up pad suitable for contoured surfaces, while the recommendation to use rigid pads on aggressive grinding tasks provides a practical option depending on the application.
This pad is specified for use with 7" diameter resin fibre discs on 5/8-11 threaded arbors and is rated for up to 8500 RPM, aligning with common high-speed grinding applications. Each package contains one back-up pad, sized to fit a 7" disc with the 5/8-11 arbor thread, enabling straightforward replacement and maintenance in facility maintenance workflows. The combination of flexible rubber design and thoughtful airflow features helps operators achieve smoother grinding action and more consistent results, particularly on contours or complex shapes.
When selecting backing pads, consider whether a flexible rubber pad suits your surface contour needs or whether a rigid pad would provide longer life in more aggressive grinding scenarios. Correct sizing and threading ensure compatibility with standard 5/8-11 hubs, and adherence to the 8500 RPM limit supports safe operation within typical industrial grinders.
