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.

VLRE V-Grooved - Eccentric Stud Style, Inch Sizes
A V-Grooved Eccentric Stud Style Cam Follower is a type of roller bearing that has a cylindrical stud as the inner raceway and an outer raceway shaped like a V-groove that is offset (eccentric) with the stud. The V-groove provides a means of tracking a cam or similar rotating component, while the eccentric stud provides the ability to compensate for misalignment or shaft deflection. The V-grooved shape is designed to provide positive engagement with a rotating cam or similar component. This type of cam follower is commonly used in a wide range of applications, including material handling equipment, conveyors, packaging machinery, and automation equipment.
PLRSE Plain - Eccentric Stud Plain Style, Inch Sizes
A Stainless Steel Eccentric Stud Plain Cam Follower is a type of roller bearing that has a cylindrical stud made of stainless steel as the inner raceway, and a stainless steel outer raceway that is offset (eccentric) with the stud. Stainless steel is a corrosion-resistant material that is well-suited for use in applications where durability and resistance to environmental degradation are important factors. The eccentric stud provides the ability to compensate for misalignment or shaft deflection, making it suitable for use in applications with these types of issues. The plain (non-flanged) outer surface provides minimal axial height, making it suitable for applications with tight installation constraints. The combination of the stainless steel inner and outer raceways provides a high level of durability and reliability, making this type of cam follower suitable for use in a wide range of applications.
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.
VLRH V-Grooved Style, Inch Sizes
A V-Grooved High Temperature Cam Follower is a type of roller bearing that is designed to operate in high-temperature environments. It features a cylindrical stud as the inner raceway and an outer raceway shaped like a V-groove that provides a means of tracking a cam or similar rotating component. The V-groove provides positive engagement with a rotating cam, while the stud provides a simple and reliable solution for installations where a specific and consistent orientation of the bearing is required. The high-temperature capability of the cam follower is achieved through the use of materials and constructions that are designed to withstand high temperatures and/or harsh environmental conditions, such as corrosive or abrasive conditions. This type of cam follower is commonly used in a wide range of high-temperature applications, such as in the manufacturing and processing of ceramics, metals, and other materials that are subjected to high temperatures.
