10 Mounted wheels
10.1 Standard maximum speeds
The maximum operating speed for mounted
wheels shall be determined by the following
four factors:
1. shape and size of the mounted wheel;
2. size of the mandrel;
3. overhang of the mandrel (see figure 47);
4. wheel specification.
Taking the first three factors noted above
into consideration, look up the maximum
operating speed in the corresponding tables
26 through 34, pages 121 through 136. The
overhangs indicated on the charts are for
unthreaded mandrels. Threaded mandrels will
take the same speed as the 1 / 2 " overhang of
the unthreaded mandrel.
Tables 26 through 34, pages 121 through
136, have been established to cover most
mounted wheel specifications. Where these
tables are not applicable, the mounted wheel
manufacturer shall designate the maximum
operating speed. In no case shall this maxi-
mum operating speed be exceeded, for the
overhang to be used.
No matter what factors of wheel size, shape,
specification, mandrel size, overhang or ma-
chine conditions are changed, the speed of
10,000 surface feet per minute (SFPM) shall
not be exceeded without full consideration of
section 8 of this code.
Explanatory Information
(NOT PART OF ANSI STANDARD)
E 10.1 Standard maximum speeds
There is a limiting speed beyond which no
mounted wheel should be run due to the
inherent strength of the abrasive body itself.
In addition to this, maximum operating
speeds for mounted wheels are generally
limited by the size and shape of the wheel,
the mandrel material and diameter, and the
distance from the mounting chuck to the
abrasive body (overhang).
Due to the size of some mounted wheels, it
is necessary to reduce the size of the man-
drel where it enters the wheel. These are
called tapered mandrels. It will be noted,
however, that the resistance to bending or
whipping due to speed is dependent on the
size of the mandrel at the point where it is
chucked, so that the size of the mandrel for
speed purposes will be the diameter of the
chucked section.
As threading reduces the effective diameter
of the mandrel, mounted wheels with
threaded mandrels require lower operating
speeds than the same size unthreaded man-
drels. Because these mandrels are usually
short and held closely in the chuck, the tables
give only the speeds for 1 / 2 " overhang.
Tables 26 to 34, pages 121 to 136, indicate
the maximum operating speeds for various
standard mounted wheels in combination with
several standard mandrel sizes and various
overhangs. For many common combinations,
the maximum operating speeds can be read
directly from the tables. For intermediate
wheel and mandrel sizes and overhangs not
shown, the maximum operating speed can
be determined by interpolations.
If it is found that the desired combination of
conditions would result in operation beyond
the maximum speed, a slight change in any
one of the following conditions may be all
that is necessary to eliminate the danger of
117

10.2 Work pressure
Pressure between the wheel and the work
shall not be so heavy that excessive spring-
ing of the mandrel will result.
10.3 Mandrel material
The material used for mandrels shall have a
tensile strength of at least 90,000 psi.
10.4 Mounted wheels on portable air grinders
The wheel mandrel shall be inserted to the
full depth of the gripping jaws of the grinder
collet.

operating over the maximum speed. Such
corrective steps are:
1. For a given shape, reducing the size of
the wheel (either diameter or thickness,
or both) will raise the maximum speed.
2. Increasing the diameter of the mandrel
will raise the maximum speed.
3. Reducing the overhang (pushing the man-
drel back into the chuck) will raise the
maximum speed.
E. 10.2 Work pressure
Work pressure, if excessive, can be the cause
of trouble and a source of danger, through
bending or fracture of the mandrel. If there is
burning of the work or excessive reduction in
mandrel speed, it is quite likely that exces-
sive pressure is being used. A freer cutting
wheel specification may permit the desired
rate of stock removal without excessive pres-
sure.

Note: "Centrifugal Force," which is the force that tends to rupture a given wheel when overspeeding, increases as the square of the
velocity of that wheel. For example, the centrifugal force in a wheel running at 5,500 surface feet per minute is 49 percent greater
than in the same wheel running at 4,500 surface feet per minute, although the speed is actually only 22 percent greater.
