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.

HPC Plain - Concentric Stud Style - Metric Sizes
A Plain Concentric Stud Style Cam Follower is a type of roller bearing that has a cylindrical stud as the inner raceway, with the outer raceway being a cylinder that is concentric with the stud. This design provides a simple and reliable solution for light to medium load applications where a low profile and minimal axial space are required. The stud allows for easy installation, and the plain (non-flanged) outer surface provides minimal axial height, making it suitable for applications with tight installation constraints.
FLRE - Flanged Eccentric Stud Style - Inch Sizes
Flanged eccentric stud style cam followers are bearings that consist of a cylindrical outer ring with a flange on one end and an inner ring that is attached to the stud shaft by an eccentric collar. This design allows for adjustability of the radial clearance between the cam and the follower. The flange on the outer ring allows for easy installation and the stud shaft can be used for attaching other machine components.
HPVE V-Grooved - Eccentric Stud Style - Metric Sizes
A V-Grooved Eccentric Stud Style Cam Follower is a type of roller bearing that has a cylindrical stud as the inner raceway, with the outer raceway being a cylinder that is offset (eccentric) with the stud and has a V-groove cut into its surface. This design is commonly used in cam and track following applications where the ability to compensate for misalignment or shaft deflection is required and a specific and consistent orientation of the bearing relative to the cam or track is needed. The V-groove allows for positive guidance and helps to maintain the proper orientation of the bearing, while the eccentric stud provides the ability to adjust for misalignment, making it suitable for use in applications with shaft deflection or other sources of misalignment. The stud allows for easy installation, and the plain (non-flanged) outer surface provides minimal axial height, making it suitable for applications with tight installation constraints.
FLRC - Flanged Crown Style - Concentric Stud Style, Inch Sizes
Flanged crown concentric cam followers are a type of bearing that consist of a cylindrical outer ring with a flange on one end, and a cylindrical or crowned inner ring that rotates around a central axis. They are designed to follow the movement of a cam, which is a mechanical device that converts rotary motion into linear motion. The flange on the outer ring allows for easy installation, while the concentric design helps to maintain proper alignment and reduce wear on the bearing.
HPCA Plain - Yoke Style - Metric Sizes
A Plain Yoke Style Cam Follower is a type of roller bearing that has a plain (non-flanged) outer surface and a yoke-shaped inner ring. It is commonly used in light to medium load applications and provides a simple, low-cost solution for cam and track following. The yoke-shaped inner ring allows for easy installation and the plain outer surface provides minimal axial height, making it suitable for applications with tight installation constraints.
PLRY Plain Yoke Style - Inch Sizes
A Plain Yoke Style Cam Follower is a type of roller bearing that has a cylindrical stud as the inner raceway and a yoke-shaped outer raceway that provides a flat surface for attaching to an external mechanism. The yoke shape provides a simple and reliable solution for attaching the cam follower to a mating component, such as a machine frame, arm, or link. The plain (non-flanged) outer surface provides minimal axial height, making it suitable for applications with tight installation constraints. This style of cam follower is commonly used in a wide range of applications, including material handling equipment, conveyors, packaging machinery, and automation equipment.
FLRY Flanged Yoke Style - Inch Sizes
A Flanged Yoke Style Cam Follower is a type of roller bearing that has an outer flange or rim to increase the surface area and stability of the bearing. It is commonly used in high-load and high-misalignment applications, providing increased stability and accuracy for the cam or track it is following. The flange also helps to simplify the mounting process and provides additional support for the bearing.
HPVA V-Grooved - Yoke Style - Metric Sizes
A Plain Yoke Style Cam Follower is a type of roller bearing that has a plain (non-flanged) outer surface and a yoke-shaped inner ring. It is commonly used in light to medium load applications and provides a simple, low-cost solution for cam and track following. The yoke-shaped inner ring allows for easy installation and the plain outer surface provides minimal axial height, making it suitable for applications with tight installation constraints.
CLRY Crowned Yoke Style - Inch Sizes
A Crowned Yoke Style cam follower is a type of roller bearing with a convex (crowned) outer surface that helps to reduce stress and evenly distribute load across the bearing surface.
