ABRASIVE GRAIN – SHAPED TO PERFECTION
The ACTIROX series offers the ideal abrasives for all coarse grinding applications: From bevelling and deburring to removing weld seams and mill scale. All this and more besides is much easier with VSM ACTIROX abrasives.
Product information
Benefits
- Maximum stock removal thanks to geometrically shaped ceramic abrasive grain
- Faster grinding ensures very short processing times
- More than double the stock removal compared with conventional ceramic grain abrasives
- Improved chip removal – even when grinding aluminium
Applications
- AK895Y achieves excellent results with maximum contact pressures and in heavy duty applications such as bevelling
- AK890Y excels in stationary applications such as removing welds and burrs as part of backstand grinding
- The AF979, AF799 and AF890 fibre discs are ideal for precise rough grinding: For example, for removing weld seams with high-speed angle grinders
- AF733 with the ALU-X additional grinding-active layer is the specialist for difficult aluminium processing applications
Features
- 100% geometrically shaped VSM ceramic abrasive grain – Made in Germany
- Aggressive grinding is ensured by upright abrasive grain at an optimal angle
- Additional grinding-active layers help to ensure optimum performance: VSM TOP SIZE ensures a cool cut, and VSM ALU-X improves chip clearence

Geometrically shaped ceramic abrasive grain
- Geometrically shaped ceramic abrasive grain ensures maximum stock removal
- The grain wears down in a controlled manner to create a constant series of new, sharp cutting edges
VSM is one of only a handful of ceramic grain manufacturers in Germany and the rest of the world. By producing our own abrasive grain at our Hanover site, we can significantly influence the performance characteristics of our VSM abrasives.
A significant boost to your productivity
Thanks to their extremely high stock removal, VSM ACTIROX fibre discs can process more workpieces in the same period of time.
The plus in grinding performance
Practice has shown that ACTIROX abrasives have a higher abrasive performance than comparable conventional abrasives – with a consistent surface finish. You achieve higher stock removal than you would expect with the specified grit size, but you do not get a rougher surface. A real plus for your grinding process.
