Roller burnishing is a cold-working process that produces a fine surface finish by the planetary rotation of hardened rolls over a bored or turned metal surface. This process provides a more effective method of sizing, finishing, and work-hardening of your parts to exact specifications.
Advantages
Provides versatility because the operation can be performed on any rotating spindle
Provides accurate size control with tolerances within 0.0005" or better (depending on variables such as material)
Achieves fine surface finishes between 1-10 µin Ra and increases surface hardness by 5-10%
Improves metallurgical properties
Replaces grinding, honing, lapping, and other expensive secondary options
Features
All roller burnishing tools are composed of the basic burnisher assembly including cage, cone, rolls, and shank (either straight or morse taper)
In some cases, there will be a diameter overlap between a series and the series after it. If the diameter you need falls into this overlap, choose the higher of the two series.
For example, you need a 24.64 mm diameter tool. This diameter falls into both the K series (16.60 mm - 24.74 mm) and the L series (24.54 mm - 31.16 mm). In this scenario, you would choose the L series tool that covers the 24.64 mm diameter.
