Sunnen Honing Mandrell Installation In Pg Honing Machine
Installing a Sunnen honing mandrel involves a few steps, which are outlined below:
Choose the correct size and type of honing mandrel for your specific application. The mandrel should match the diameter and shape of the bore you are honing.
Clean the mandrel thoroughly using a mild solvent and a clean rag. Ensure that there is no debris or oil on the mandrel that could interfere with the honing process.
Lubricate the mandrel with honing oil or a similar lubricant. This will help the mandrel slide smoothly into the bore and reduce friction during the honing process.
Insert the mandrel into the bore, taking care to align it properly with the axis of the bore. The mandrel should fit snugly but not be so tight that it cannot be easily removed.
Secure the mandrel in place using the locking nut or bolts provided with the mandrel. Tighten the nut or bolts securely, but be careful not to over-tighten, as this can damage the mandrel or the bore.
Mount the honing tool onto the mandrel, taking care to follow the manufacturer's instructions for the specific tool you are using.
Begin the honing process, following the recommended procedures for your specific application.
It is important to note that the above steps are general guidelines and may need to be adjusted based on the specific Sunnen honing mandrel and tool you are using. Always consult the manufacturer's instructions and seek professional assistance if needed.
