Development of an In-House Test for Nut Integrity in F-Type Wheels

Abstract

Nut embedded disc grinding wheels, also known as disc grinding or F-Type wheels, are required for many production jobs. Nut pull-out is a common problem encountered in disc grinding wheels. The present work proposes a simple fixture, using which the integrity of the nut in the grinding wheel can be assessed. This method can be adopted by any grinding wheel manufacturer for a realistic estimate of nut pull out strength in double disc grinding wheels.
