Ammco 31″ Long Silencer Band for Ventilated Rotors (906920)

Description

The Ammco 31″ Long Silencer Band for Ventilated Rotors (906920) is a specialized accessory designed to enhance the quality and efficiency of brake rotor resurfacing on a brake lathe. Crafted from natural rubber and incorporating lead weights, this silencer band effectively dampens machining vibrations and eliminates “chatter” during the cutting process. Chatter can lead to an uneven, poor finish on the rotor’s surface, compromising braking performance and potentially causing noise. By stabilizing the rotor during machining, the Ammco 906920 ensures a smooth, precise, and consistent surface finish, which is critical for optimal brake function and longevity. This versatile band is adjustable to fit most diameter ventilated rotors and is compatible with a wide range of popular brake lathe brands, making it an indispensable tool for automotive professionals seeking to deliver superior brake service. Its durable construction ensures reliable performance, helping technicians achieve professional-grade results with every rotor resurfacing job.

KEY FEATURES AND BENEFITS:

• Reduces Machining Vibrations: Effectively dampens “chatter” during brake rotor resurfacing, leading to a smoother and more accurate finish.
• Improves Rotor Finish Quality: Prevents imperfections caused by vibration, ensuring a precise and consistent surface that promotes better braking performance and reduces noise.
• Optimized for Ventilated Rotors: Specifically designed to work with ventilated brake rotors, providing effective vibration control for their unique structure.
• Wide Lathe Compatibility: Works with a broad range of brake lathe brands, including Ammco, Hunter, FMC, Accuturn, Ranger, and Atlas, making it a versatile addition to any shop.
• Natural Rubber with Lead Weights: The combination of natural rubber and strategically placed lead weights provides superior vibration absorption and stability during the machining process.

SPECIFICATIONS:

• Part Number: 906920 (also known as 6920)
• Length: 31 inches (780 mm)
• Width: 5/8 inch
• Material: Natural rubber with lead weights
• Rotor Type Compatibility: Ventilated Rotors
• Included in Product: One Ammco 31″ Long Silencer Band

HOW TO USE:

1. Prepare the Rotor: Ensure the ventilated brake rotor is securely mounted and properly centered on your brake lathe’s arbor.
2. Position the Band: Gently wrap the Ammco 31″ Long Silencer Band around the outer circumference of the ventilated rotor.
3. Adjust for Snug Fit: Adjust the band so it fits snugly around the rotor. It should be tight enough to maintain contact and exert pressure, but not so tight that it deforms the rotor. The band’s flexibility allows it to conform to various rotor diameters.
4. Begin Machining: Start the brake lathe and proceed with your standard rotor resurfacing process. The silencer band will absorb vibrations during the cut.
5. Remove After Use: Once the machining is complete and the lathe has stopped, carefully remove the silencer band from the rotor. Store it properly to maintain its integrity.

BENEFITS OF USING AMMCO 31″ LONG SILENCER BAND FOR VENTILATED ROTORS (906920):

• Achieves a superior, glass-smooth finish: On brake rotors, enhancing overall braking effectiveness.
• Helps extend the lifespan of brake lathe cutting bits: By reducing shock and vibration.
• Contributes to quieter braking operation: By ensuring a perfectly trued rotor surface.
• Reduces the need for re-machining: Due to chatter, saving time and increasing shop productivity.
