Cylinder Brushes 101
Cylinder & Rotary Brushes
Cylinder brushes, also referred to as coil and rotary brushes, are typically customized due to the variations in equipment and the specifications of countless applications that can benefit from cylinder brushes.
Cylinders can be constructed as densely coiled metal back strip brushes or staple set brushes with more pattern variations to meet your specific application needs.
Tanis can manufacture a wide selection of cylinder brushes in different sizes, filament types, and patterns as shown below.

Making a Coiled Cylinder Brush
Metal Back Strip Attached to Core, Shaft or Tube
After a straight metal back strip brush is formed, the strip can then be attached to a core, shaft or tube based on the equipment need. It gets wound under tension to make a coiled cylinder brush.
We can wind the strip brush right or left-handed at the desired pitch to establish the brush density.
Strips can be wound in either an open wound style for a less dense brush or close wound pitch to create a dense brush face.
Core Systems for Cylinder Brushes
Every cylinder brush gets mounted on a core, tube or shaft to perform its function. Your application and equipment will be the guide for choosing which system makes the best sense for your brush.
