Ammco 2-Pack 9.250″ Non-Vented Rotor Silencer Band (906922)

Description

The Ammco 2-Pack 9.250″ Non-Vented Rotor Silencer Band (906922) is an essential accessory for professional automotive technicians and workshops performing brake rotor resurfacing. Engineered specifically for use with brake lathes, these silencer bands play a crucial role in improving the quality and efficiency of rotor machining. When turning thin, solid (non-vented) brake rotors, vibrations and chatter can often occur, leading to an inconsistent surface finish and potentially compromising brake performance. The Ammco 906922 silencer bands are designed to counteract these issues by providing a dampening effect around the rotor during the machining process. This action stabilizes the rotor, significantly reducing vibrations and ensuring a smooth, precise cut. The result is a superior rotor surface that promotes even brake pad wear and optimal braking function. Sold in a convenient 2-pack, these 9.250-inch diameter bands are a valuable addition to any brake service setup, helping achieve professional-grade results consistently.

KEY FEATURES AND BENEFITS:

• Vibration Reduction: Designed to absorb and dampen vibrations during rotor machining, preventing chatter marks and ensuring a smooth, uniform surface finish.
• Improved Rotor Finish: Contributes to a higher quality rotor surface, which is critical for proper brake pad seating and optimal braking performance.
• Enhanced Machining Precision: By stabilizing the rotor, these bands allow for more accurate and consistent material removal, leading to precise rotor dimensions.
• Extended Tool Life: Reduces stress on brake lathe cutting bits by minimizing vibrations, potentially contributing to longer tool longevity.
• Designed for Non-Vented Rotors: Specifically engineered for thin, solid brake rotors, ensuring optimal fit and effectiveness for this type of application.
• Convenient 2-Pack: Provides two silencer bands, offering immediate replacement or use on multiple machines/rotors.

SPECIFICATIONS:

• Diameter: 9.250 inches (234.95mm)
• Rotor Compatibility: Thin solid (non-vented) rotors
• Product Includes: 2x Ammco 9.250″ Non-Vented Rotor Silencer Bands (Part # 906922)

HOW TO USE:

1. Prepare the Rotor and Lathe: Mount the non-vented brake rotor securely onto the brake lathe spindle according to the lathe manufacturer’s instructions. Ensure the rotor is properly centered and clamped.
2. Position the Silencer Band: Carefully slide one Ammco 9.250″ Non-Vented Rotor Silencer Band over the outer edge of the brake rotor.
3. Adjust Placement: Position the silencer band so it is centered on the rotor’s braking surface, or slightly off-center towards the edge that is experiencing more vibration, if applicable. Ensure it fits snugly but does not impede the cutting tool’s path.
4. Begin Machining: Start the brake lathe and begin the machining process as you normally would. Observe the rotor for any remaining chatter; the silencer band should significantly reduce or eliminate it.
5. Remove After Machining: Once the machining process is complete and the lathe has stopped, remove the silencer band from the rotor.
