Product Overview
The Iron Plate/Steel Ring is a centre component for airway buffing wheels, made from strong steel plate through 5 to 8 pressing and moulding processes. It is used in sisal, cotton and airway buffing wheels. The ring has a diameter range of 3 to 8 inches and features 43 teeth, with options for round or hexagon holes in 2.5 inch and 3 inch sizes. It is designed to work with the CRA-500, CRA-800, CRA-600 and CRA-700 machines in a complete buffing wheel production line.
Key Benefits
- Provides a consistent, durable centre for airway buffing wheels across multiple production runs
- Supports 3 to 8 inch wheel diameters, covering most standard buffing wheel sizes
- Compatible with round and hexagon hole centres, including 2.5 inch and 3 inch options
- Can be fitted with wood, paper or plastic plates to reduce the effective hole size
- Made through 5 to 8 pressing and moulding steps for structural integrity
- Reduces manual handling and variation in wheel centre alignment during forming
Application Scenarios
- A buffing wheel manufacturer replacing hand-fitted centres with precision steel rings
- A workshop producing custom-sized airway wheels needing consistent centre geometry
- A factory integrating a CRA-800 forming machine and requiring matching steel ring tooling
- A distributor sourcing raw materials in bulk for in-house wheel production
Who It Is For
- Buffing and polishing wheel manufacturers
- Metal finishing shops producing their own wheels in volume
- Distributors supplying buffing wheel components to regional markets
- Wood and board plants using steel rings as part of their internal tooling
Problems It Solves
- Manual centre insertion leads to misalignment and inconsistent wheel balance
- Inconsistent centre dimensions cause variation in ply spacing during forming
- Lack of standardised steel rings increases setup time and tooling costs
- Using mismatched or low-strength centres results in wheel deformation under pressure
- No standard hole size across suppliers complicates machine compatibility
Technical Features
- Made from strong steel plate through 5 to 8 pressing and moulding processes
- 43 teeth standard, with custom tooth count available
- Diameter range: 3 inch to 8 inch, with custom sizes possible
- Hole types: round hole, hexagon hole, 2.5 inch and 3 inch standard
- Can be fitted with wood, paper or plastic plates to reduce hole size
- Designed to interface directly with CRA-800, CRA-600, CRA-500 and CRA-700 machines

Materials
- Strong steel plate
- Wood plate (for hole size reduction)
- Paper plate (for hole size reduction)
- Plastic plate (for hole size reduction)
Manufacturing And Process
Step 1
Steel plate is pressed and moulded through 5 to 8 stages to form the ring
Step 2
Teeth are formed and holes are punched to match standard or custom sizes
Step 3
Ring is fitted with a wood, paper or plastic plate if a smaller hole is required
Step 4
Ring is loaded into the CRA-500 bias cutter or CRA-800 forming machine
Step 5
The ring acts as the centre during folding and indexing on the CRA-800
Step 6
After forming, the wheel is pressed on the CRA-600 and trimmed on the CRA-700
Quality Control
- Each ring is checked for consistent diameter, hole size and tooth alignment
- Sample rings tested before shipment to verify fit with CRA-800 and CRA-600 machines
- Free sample testing available on buyer’s own fabric or sisal before purchase
- Production batches inspected for uniformity in thickness and edge finish
Customization Options
- Custom diameters outside 3 to 8 inch range available
- Custom tooth count available upon request
- Custom hole size and shape available
- Custom plate material (wood, paper, plastic) for hole reduction
- Can be supplied with or without additional plate material
Compared With The Alternatives
| Iron Claw Centres | Iron claws are used in smaller wheels and are not interchangeable with steel rings; steel rings are better suited for larger 3 to 8 inch wheels |
|---|---|
| Plastic Centres | Plastic centres are lighter and cheaper but less durable under high pressure; steel rings maintain shape during pressing and forming |
| Hand-Fitted Metal Rings | Hand-fitted rings vary in size and alignment; this steel ring is precision formed and repeatable across batches |
Use Guide
- Confirm the ring diameter matches the target wheel size before forming
- Use wood, paper or plastic plates only if reducing the hole size is required
- Ensure the hole type (round or hexagon) matches the machine’s clamping system
- Inspect the ring for burrs or deformation before loading into the CRA-800
- Keep a spare set of rings on hand for quick changeover between wheel sizes
