95026 - SAIT 95026 SAIT-LOK Backing Pad, 5-Inch x 5/8-11 Smooth Face

Heavy-Duty SAIT-LOK Backing Pad for Fiber Discs

Equip your angle grinder with the SAIT 95026 Backing Pad, a robust 5-inch accessory tailored for the SAIT-LOK mounting system. In the demanding world of welding and fabrication, time is money, and the SAIT-LOK system is engineered to reduce the downtime associated with changing abrasive consumables. This backing pad eliminates the need for additional mounting hardware found in generic setups, as it is supplied complete with the necessary nut and washers, ready to thread directly onto a 5/8-11 spindle.

The smooth face profile of this pad is a critical specification for operators looking for control and finish consistency. While hard, ribbed pads are often used for hogging off material, this smooth pad offers a slightly more forgiving interface that helps in achieving a smoother scratch pattern during blending operations. It provides full contact support for resin fiber discs, ensuring that the abrasive grain fractures properly and cuts efficiently throughout the life of the disc.

Technical Performance and Safety

Safety and durability are non-negotiable in industrial environments. The SAIT 95026 is constructed from high-quality materials capable of enduring the heat generated during friction grinding. It is rated for a Max RPM of 18,000, exceeding the typical speed of standard 5-inch angle grinders (usually around 10,000-12,000 RPM), providing a significant safety margin. This high RPM rating ensures the pad maintains its structural integrity even under the most aggressive grinding conditions.

This backing pad is specifically designed for SAIT-LOK resin fiber discs. The unique locking mechanism ensures the disc remains centered and secure, preventing slippage that can mar the workpiece or cause injury. By streamlining the attachment process and providing a stable, smooth backing, this accessory helps welders achieve superior results in surface preparation, weld leveling, and metal finishing tasks.
