Rotary Brushes Design Specifications
Coil Wound Rotary Brushes
Tanis has eight standard backing sizes for our metal back strip brushes – #2 ½ , #3, #4, #5, #7, #8, #10, #16 – ranging from .114” high x .098” wide to .688” high x .624” wide. The standard
backing materials include galvanized and stainless steel. Brass and aluminum backing can be available upon request. For special sizes and tolerances, please contact our technical sales and engineering staff.
Tanis can assemble coil wound rotary brushes to a core, a shaft or supply the coil unassembled for mounting on installed equipment. The shafts can be machined to customer specifications and core diameters with few design limitations, however weight can be a factor in the final assembly. Since most coils are welded directly to a tube or shaft, end rings can be machined for a better cosmetic appearance. If a more economical finish is desired, we can leave the weld and channel exposed.
We offer refurbishing services for coil wound rotary brushes on an existing shaft or tube by removing the worn brush and refilling the shaft or tube with a new coil wound brush. Tanis can also repair journal or stub ends on shafts to provide a new surface for drive side and bearings.

Stapled Set Rotary Brushes
Stapled set rotary and wheel brushes are manufactured by inserting individual tufts of filament into a drilled hole in a block of plastic and securing with a staple. The staple is made of steel or nickel-silver which is predicated by the environment and the conditions the brush will be performing under.
Hole Pattern and Design
Using the latest in machining technology, the stapled set wheel or rotary brushes can be designed and manufactured in virtually any hole or tuft patterns to produce a desired density and brush pattern. Standard patterns include straight, staggered, spiral (helical) and chevron (herringbone) patterns. A spiral or herringbone pattern is used to orient product in a specific direction or to give a specific brushing effect.
Generally, the tuft holes are drilled and filled vertically but depending on the application, the hole can be drilled and the filament inserted at an angle. The brush filament is trimmed in the final processing stage to provide a consistent, uniform brush face.
