Ammco 1-3/4″ Silencer Band – Drum (905280)

Description

The Ammco 1-3/4″ Silencer Band – Drum (905280) is an essential accessory for any automotive service center or mechanic performing brake drum machining. Engineered to address common issues like chatter and vibration during the turning process, this silencer band ensures a smoother, more precise, and quieter operation. Made from premium grade rubber and designed with an extra-long length, it provides comprehensive damping for a wide range of automotive and truck drums, leading to superior surface finishes and extended tooling life. By effectively stabilizing the drum as it rotates on the lathe, the Ammco silencer band contributes to a more accurate cut, reducing imperfections and enhancing overall brake performance after service. It is a critical component for achieving professional-grade results and maintaining an efficient, less disruptive work environment.

KEY FEATURES AND BENEFITS:

• Vibration and Chatter Reduction: Specifically designed to absorb and dampen vibrations and chatter during brake drum machining, resulting in a smoother, more accurate cut and improved surface finish.
• Enhanced Precision: By stabilizing the drum, the band helps achieve tighter tolerances and a more uniform material removal, which is crucial for proper brake function.
• Reduced Noise: Significantly lowers the operational noise level of the brake lathe, contributing to a more pleasant and professional working environment.
• Premium Grade Material: Constructed from high-quality rubber, ensuring flexibility, durability, and effective vibration absorption for consistent performance.
• Extra Long Design: The generous length accommodates various sizes of automotive and wider truck drums, providing versatile application across different vehicles.
• Improved Tooling Life: By minimizing chatter, the silencer band helps reduce stress and wear on the lathe’s cutting bits, potentially extending their lifespan.
• Broad Compatibility: Works seamlessly with Ammco, Accuturn, FMC, and other similar brake lathe machines, making it a versatile addition to many workshops.

SPECIFICATIONS:

• Length: 5’8″
• Material: Premium grade rubber
• Included in Product: One Ammco 1-3/4″ Silencer Band – Drum (905280)

HOW TO USE:

1. Prepare the Drum: Ensure the brake drum is securely mounted and centered on the brake lathe spindle according to the lathe manufacturer’s instructions.
2. Position the Band: Carefully wrap the Ammco 1-3/4″ Silencer Band around the outside diameter of the brake drum.
3. Secure the Band: Ensure the band is stretched taut and evenly distributed around the drum’s circumference. The tension of the band is crucial for effective vibration dampening.
4. Initiate Machining: Begin the machining process as you normally would, observing the cutting action. The silencer band will actively work to reduce chatter and vibration, leading to a smoother cut.
5. Remove After Use: Once machining is complete, carefully remove the silencer band from the drum.
