Metal Channel Brushes
Flex-Guard’s metal channel brushes consist of natural, synthetic filaments, or made of wire pressed together to form many different shapes and configurations pending their application environment. These brushes include metal channel strip brushes, disc seals, ring seals, and a few different types cylindrical coil brushes, such as internal and external cylindrical coil brushes or fixed on a shaft. The metal channel width and the length of brush bristles can be trimmed to fit any job solution in the industrial manufacturing environment. These styles and types of brush enclosure is for highly automated, high volume production, and manufactured to prevent noise, chips, light, dust, vibration, air coolant mist and temperature.

Metal Channel Strip Brushes
Flex-guard® manufactures metal channel strip brushes by laying filaments (natural, synthetic or wire) over a continuous metal channel while it is being formed into a “U” shape. A binding wire is forced down into the partially formed channel, forcing the bristle material down to the bottom of the newly formed channel.
Disc Seals – Single Seal
Brush ring seals and brush disc seals are used as a method of chip containment, dust containment, and noise containment between two moving parts. The moving parts can be rotating shafts, oscillating tubes, sliding pipes, individual or groups of wires, and chain pulls of dock levelers, to name just a few ring seals and disc seals applications.
Ring Seals – Multiple Seals
Flex-guard® manufactures straight strip brush contoured into a circle consisting of a metal outer ring with internal brush bristles. Brush ring seals and brush disc seals are used as a method of chip containment, dust containment, noise containment plus more between two moving parts.
Cup Brush Seals
Cup brush seals are basically a strip brush looped laterally to form a circle shape. These are made to suit a particular task. They are most often used as a seal around a cylindrical rotating piece, like a drill bit or grinding device. The cup brush shields the operator from chips or dust flying into its surrounding area.
External Cylindrical Coil Brushes
An external cylindrical coil brush is a long strip brush wound in a helical fashion to create a cylinder. These can be nearly any diameter and length, depending on the job they need to perform. Further, some of these cylindrical coil brushes can be closely wound so that they appear as solid cylinders.
Internal Cylindrical Coil Brushes
An internal cylindrical coil brush is a long strip brush wound in a helical fashion to create a cylinder. These can be nearly any diameter and length, depending on the job they need to perform. Further, some of these internal cylindrical coil brushes or shaft cleaning brushes can be closely wound so that they appear as solid cylinders.
Cylindrical Coil Brush on Shaft
Cylindrical coil brushes on shaft are made from spiral wound cylindrical brushes. They can be very small to very large. These brushes can have left or right hand lead. The brushes can be mounted permanently to a shaft with the use of clips, J-bolts or welded.
