Abstract
A hub to mount an abrasive article to a tool, the hub including a body with a longitudinal center axis and a total axial height less than 16.7 mm, the body including a proximal end, a distal end, a flange extending radially from the body between the proximal end and the distal end, and an optional distal protrusion at the distal end extending axially from an upper surface of the flange, where the flange can be configured to engage a removal tool.
Claims20
A hub configured to mount an abrasive article to a tool, the hub comprising:
- a body with a longitudinal center axis and a total axial height (H3), the body including:
- a proximal end;
- a distal end;
- and
- a flange extending radially from the body between the proximal end and the distal end, wherein the flange comprises a lower surface and an upper surface, wherein the distal end is at an axial distance (H1) from the upper surface, and wherein H3 is less than 16.7 mm and H1 is less than 30% of H3.
A hub configured to mount an abrasive article to a tool, the hub comprising:
- a body with a longitudinal center axis, the body including:
- a proximal end;
- a distal end;
- a flange extending radially from the body between the proximal end and the distal end;
- and
- a distal protrusion at the distal end extending axially from an upper surface of the flange, the distal protrusion having a non-polygonal shape in a radial cross section from an uppermost surface of the distal protrusion to the upper surface of the flange, wherein the radial cross section is generally perpendicular to the longitudinal center axis.
