Abstract
A grinding disc comprises a grinding layer formed of grinding grains bound by means of a binding agent. Reinforcing fabrics are embedded in the grinding layer on the outer sides of the grinding layer. At least one additional fabric is arranged on at least one of the reinforcing fabrics and has a respective diameter which is smaller than the diameter of the rein-forcing fabrics. The at least one additional fabric stiffens the grinding disc in a region around a central opening and improves the properties of the grinding disc during rough machining and/or cutting off.
Claims23
A grinding disc comprising:
- a grinding layer, having a grinding layer diameter, the grinding layer comprising grinding grains bound by a binding agent, and forming a first outer side and a second outer side of the grinding disc,
- a first reinforcing fabric, which is embedded inside the first outer side of the grinding layer such that the first outer side comprises a first surface of the grinding disc, and which has a first fabric diameter, wherein the first fabric diameter is larger than or equal to 80% of the grinding layer diameter,
- a second reinforcing fabric, which is embedded inside the second outer side of the grinding layer such that the second outer side comprises a second surface of the grinding disc, and which has a second fabric diameter, wherein the second fabric diameter is larger than or equal to 80% of the grinding layer diameter,
- wherein at least one fabric is arranged on at least one of the first reinforcing fabric or the second reinforcing fabric,
- wherein the at least one fabric is embedded in the grinding layer between the first outer side and the second outer side,
- wherein the at least one fabric has a respective fabric diameter,
- wherein the at least one fabric diameter is smaller than the first fabric diameter, and the at least one fabric diameter is smaller than the second fabric diameter,
- wherein the at least one fabric has a respective value Ri, wherein the respective value Ri is larger than or equal to 0.2 and the respective value Ri is less than or equal to 1.2, wherein the following applies to Ri:
- Ri=Rxi+Ryi,
- with
- Rxi=bxi·nxi/lxi,
- Ryi=byi·nyi/lyi,
- wherein
- bxi, byi is a thread width or a web width of threads in a x-direction and a y-direction, respectively,
- nxi, nyi is a number of threads or a number of webs in the x-direction and the y-direction, respectively, and
- lxi, lyi is a length in the x-direction and the y-direction.
A grinding disc comprising:
- a grinding layer, having a grinding layer diameter, the grinding layer comprising grinding grains bound by a binding agent, and forming a first outer side and a second outer side of the grinding disc,
- a first reinforcing fabric embedded inside in the grinding layer on the first outer side of the grinding layer such that the first outer side comprises a first surface of the grinding disc, the first reinforcing fabric having a first fabric diameter, wherein the first fabric diameter is larger than or equal to 80% of the grinding layer diameter,
- a second reinforcing fabric embedded inside in the grinding layer on the second outer side of the grinding layer such that the second outer side comprises a second surface of the grinding disc, the second reinforcing fabric having a second fabric diameter, wherein the second fabric diameter is larger than or equal to 80% of the grinding layer diameter,
- wherein at least one fabric is arranged on at least one of the first reinforcing fabric or the second reinforcing fabric,
- wherein the at least one fabric is embedded in the grinding layer between the first outer side and the second outer side of the grinding layer,
- wherein the at least one fabric has a respective fabric diameter, wherein the at least one fabric diameter is smaller than the first fabric diameter, and the at least one fabric diameter is smaller than the second fabric diameter,
- wherein the at least one fabric is arranged in a clamping region and in an inner working region of the grinding disc,
- wherein the inner working region is usable for rough grinding,
- wherein the at least one fabric is not arranged in an outer working region of the grinding disc, and
- wherein the outer working region is usable for cutting.
