Economical Air Tool for Flap Peening
Lightweight air-powered tool designed for both small and large flaps. Includes regulator and fittings for quick setup.
Economical Pneumatic Tool for Rotary Flap Peening
Lightweight and easy to handle, this pneumatic tool delivers up to 18,000 rpm for precise, localized rotary flap peening on edges, radii and small bores. Supplied with a compatible exhaust hose, it's a practical choice for setup work, on-site repairs and rapid touch-ups where mobility matters.
Technical Data
- Speed range: 0-18,000 rpm (verify with a calibrated tachometer)
- Power source: Compressed air; use dry, filtered air with stable pressure
- Included: Compatible exhaust hose
- Use case: Localized peening without a full blasting setup
- Compliance: Supports AMS 2590/AMS 2592 practices when RPM is controlled and documented
Configurations
- Type 1 - Small air tool for flaps 9/16" � 1" and 9/16" � 1 1/4"; accepts 6.35 mm (1/4") shafts.
- Type 2 - Large air tool for 1" � 2" flaps; two-handed operation. Requires the 1" � 2" mandrel to be machined to ?7.2 mm.
Recommended Use
- On-tool peening of small features, edges and internal entrances
- Maintenance/MRO work, quick rework and mobile interventions
- Process setup before transferring parameters to production equipment
Accessories
- Air regulator & quick-release fittings kit - 1/4" female quick-release coupling; 1/4" female adaptor; 1/4" male/male nipples (nickel-plated); 1/4" pressure regulator with bracket; 0-4 bar pressure gauge. Recommended to stabilize operating speed and simplify connections.
Compliance Notes
For audit-ready results, set the required RPM, validate with a calibrated tachometer and record readings at setup and at defined intervals. Maintain the specified tool speed while the flap is in contact with the part to keep intensity within tolerance.
Frequently Asked Questions
What's included with the tool?
The pneumatic tool is supplied with a compatible exhaust hose. Air preparation (filter/regulator) and fittings are available as an accessory kit.
Which flap sizes are supported?
Type 1 works with 9/16" � 1" and 9/16" � 1 1/4" flaps using 6.35 mm (1/4") mandrels. Type 2 is for 1" � 2" flaps and requires the mandrel to be machined to ?7.2 mm.
How do I control speed precisely?
Use the air regulator kit to set pressure, then verify tool RPM with a calibrated tachometer. Adjust as needed to stay within your process window.
Is it suitable for production work?
Yes, for localized or intermittent operations. For intensive, tightly controlled production with integrated RPM display/control, consider a bench-style motor/controller solution.
