  • Patent number: 11780056
    Abstract: The presented solution discloses conduit arrangements in an intermediate pad (20, 100), a backing pad (10, 200) and an abrading article (300, 400). The conduit arrangements enable controlled conveyance of air onto and extraction of air and debris from the surface of an intermediate pad (20, 100), a backing pad (10, 200) and an abrading article (300, 400). The presented solution is an intermediate pad (20, 100) suitable for use in an abrading system. The presented solution is an abrading system comprising an intermediate pad (20, 100). The presented solution is a backing pad (10, 200) suitable for use in an abrading apparatus (1). The presented solution is an abrading system comprising a backing pad (10, 200). The presented solution is an abrading article (300, 400) suitable for use in an abrading system. The presented solution is an abrading system comprising an abrading article (300, 400). The presented solution further relates to methods of using an abrading system for extracting abrading debris.

  • Patent number: 11638977
    Abstract: An arrangement for cooling a spindle bearing or bearings of an abrading apparatus with rotating abrading members is disclosed. This is premised on arranging in a housing of the abrading apparatus conduits which extend from a spindle bearing chamber wall of the housing to an inner suction chamber wall of the housing. Via such conduits, hot air may be expelled from a spindle bearing chamber of the housing as an overpressure in front of a protruding balancer element of a rotating shaft balancer is discharged from the spindle bearing chamber via a conduit into a suction chamber. Cool air may be conveyed from a suction chamber into the spindle bearing chamber as an underpressure behind the protruding balancer element draws in air from the suction chamber via the conduit to the spindle bearing chamber.
