STAPLED BRUSH NOMENCLATURE

Rectangular brushes (Strips, Lag and Flat Styles) are the basic, most widely used brush shape and the easiest to design and manufacture. A long, thin rectangular block, with one or two rows of tufts, characterizes strip bushes. Lag brushes are also on long rectangular blocks, are generally longer than 24" and have three or more rows of tufts. All other rectangular block brushes are considered to be flat style. Common block laterals are: hardwood and molded wood flour, injection molded, foam molded, extruded and machined plastics; leather, rubber, resin impregnated paper and various composites which can provide acceptable staple retention.

STAPLED BRUSH NOMENCLATURE

Wheel and Cylinder Brushes have tufts inserted into a round block or brush core. If the overall brush diameter is larger or equal to the brush face length, the brush is designated a Wheel. If the brush face is longer than the overall diameter, the brush is designated a Cylinder. Both types are designed to be powered. They can be supplied with shaft hole or arbor hole as well as mounting collars, through shafts or stub shafts. Core materials are usually one-piece machined hardwood or molded or extruded plastics.

Face and End Brushes. Round brush blocks with the tuft holes inserted parallel to the axis, at right angles to the largest diameter are called face brushes. Designed to be powered, they either have a center shaft hole or a center mounted drive mechanism or collar to affix to the shaft. End brushes are small sized, (1/4" - 1 1/2") molded or machined blocks with the bristle material inserted into the end. They usually have a single tuft but several tufts are sometimes required.
