Beveling

If two workpieces are to be welded together, the edge of the workpieces must first be broken by a beveled surface. This is done by machining. The result is a chamfer, also known as a bevel.

What is beveling and
why is it important?

If two workpieces are to be welded together, the edge of the workpieces must first be broken by a beveled surface. This is done by machining. Or in other words, a space is created to accommodate the individual welding layers through which the workpieces are joined together. The bevel can have different shapes. The V-joint, the double V-joint, and the Y-joint are the most common shapes.

Which tool is used for beveling?

The position of the weld, the material of the workpiece, and the types of drives available - the choice of the right tool depends on various factors.

If an angle grinder is available, the beveling can be done with sulfur- and iron-free Osborn flap discs. Flap discs with a conical or straight shape are available. The angle on the workpiece determines the shape of the flap wheel.

If a workpiece made of non-ferrous metal is to be beveled, we recommend an abrasive cloth with a cooling bond as it reduces blue tarnish.

If a straight grinder or air grinder is available, chamfering can be done with carbide burrs. The milling head is made of tungsten carbide-cobalt, the shank of tool steel. Different head shapes and toothings ensure that there is the right solution for every application.

For chamfering, burrs with cross serration (Z6) are the best choice. It ensures high stock removal in a short time. If the surface quality is important, a single tooth (Z3) is recommended. In the shipyard sector, the special shipyard toothing is often used. Compared to the Z6 toothing, it has a 30% higher material removal rate.

Product image for Plain Cam Followers – PLRH Plain Style, Inch Sizes USCFPL007

PLRH Plain Style, Inch Sizes

A High Temperature Plain Style Cam Follower from Osborn is a type of roller bearing designed to operate in high temperature environments. It has a plain (non-flanged) outer surface and a cylindrical inner raceway. This design is optimized for use in high temperature applications, with materials and construction methods chosen to withstand elevated temperatures without sacrificing performance or durability. The plain outer surface provides minimal axial height, making it suitable for applications with tight installation constraints, while the cylindrical inner raceway provides a simple and reliable solution for light to medium load applications. Osborn is known for producing high-quality bearings and components, and their high temperature cam followers are no exception, delivering reliable performance even in challenging environments.

Product image for Flanged Cam Followers – FLRSE - Stainless Steel Eccentric Stud Flanged Cam Followers - Inch Sizes USCFFL007

FLRSE - Stainless Steel Eccentric Stud Flanged Cam Followers - Inch Sizes

Stainless steel eccentric stud flanged cam followers are bearings that consist of a cylindrical outer ring with a flange on one end, a central eccentric stud that allows for attaching other machine components and adjustability of the radial clearance between the cam and the follower, and a inner ring that rotates around the stud axis. They are made of stainless steel which is a type of steel that contains a minimum of 10.5% chromium, making it highly resistant to corrosion and rust. This makes them suitable for use in harsh environments where corrosion resistance is required. The eccentric design of the stud allows for adjustability which is useful when precise linear motion with adjustability is required.
