A hand-held sanding device for sanding a work piece. The sanding device includes a frame adapted for a manual grip and a sanding material provided within the frame for movement relative to the frame. The sanding material forms a sanding surface for the device. The sanding material moves relative to the frame through contact between the sanding surface and the work piece.

An expandable handheld pneumatic belt grinder includes a body, an expansion component and an operation component. The body has a receiving space, a pneumatic motor, and a rotating wheel driven by the pneumatic motor. The expansion component has an expansion pipe and an expansion rod which are connected. The expansion rod is coupled to the receiving space. The operation component has a support rod with one end carrying a driven wheel and the other end coupled to the receiving space or expansion pipe. A grinding belt fits around the driven wheel and rotating wheel collectively. A user changes the distance between the rotating wheel and driven wheel by choosing between two options: coupling the support rod of operation component and the receiving space; and coupling the expansion rod of expansion component and the receiving space, and then coupling the support rod of operation component and the expansion pipe.

An endless abrasive belt for a sanding machine includes a flexible support structure, on an upper side of the support structure, an active layer with a binder and abrasive grains held in the binder. A transponder device is affixed to an underside of the endless abrasive belt, the transponder device including an attachment region and a flag, the attachment region being glued onto the underside by an adhesive layer, the flag being held by the attachment region and projecting laterally away from the endless abrasive belt, and a transponder including a transponder chip and an aerial for a wireless data connection with the sanding machine is arranged in the flag.

This disclosure relates to a belt grinder includes frame and first grinding assembly. The first grinding assembly includes transmission roller set, grinding belt and adjusting assembly. The transmission roller set includes driving roller and driven roller. Both the driving roller and the driven roller are rotatably disposed on the frame. The grinding belt is installed over the driving roller and the driven roller. The adjusting assembly includes rotatable component and contact rollers. The rotatable component is rotatably disposed on the frame. Rotation axis of the rotatable component is parallel to rotation axis of the driving roller. The contact rollers are rotatably disposed on the rotatable component. Contact rollers are different in shape. The rotatable component is rotatable with respect to the frame so as to force one of the contact rollers to contact or to be separated from the grinding belt.

Apparatus, systems, and/or methods for adjusting belt tension in a material removal machine are disclosed. In some examples, the material removal machine includes a material removal tool secured on a spindle. A spindle pulley may be secured to the spindle, such that rotation of the spindle pulley causes the material removal tool to be rotated via the spindle. The material removal machine may further include a movable hub that retains the spindle, such that movement of the hub translated into movement of the spindle. Because the spindle pulley is securely attached to the spindle, movement of the hub may translate into movement of the spindle pulley. This movement of the spindle pulley may change a distance between the spindle pulley and an actuator pulley, thereby changing the tension in a belt connecting the spindle pulley and the actuator pulley.
