Bar Grinding: Centerless grinding wheels are widely used for grinding cylindrical bars or tubes to achieve precise diameters and surface finishes. This process is commonly used in the production of automotive parts, medical devices, and hydraulic components.
Shaft Grinding: Centerless grinding wheels are used to grind shafts or axles to achieve tight tolerances on diameter, roundness, and straightness. This is crucial for applications such as aerospace components, power transmission systems, and industrial machinery.
Bearing Grinding: Centerless grinding is extensively used for grinding bearing outer races, inner races, and rollers. The process ensures tight tolerances and excellent surface finishes necessary for high-performance bearings used in automotive, aerospace, and industrial applications.
Valve Grinding: Centerless grinding wheels are employed in the valve manufacturing industry to grind valve components such as valve stems, spools, and seats. This ensures precise geometry and smooth surface finishes, allowing for optimal sealing and fluid flow control.
Gear Grinding: Centerless grinding wheels are utilized for grinding gear components, including gear shafts, pinions, and gears themselves. This process helps achieve accurate tooth profiles, precise gear dimensions, and surface finishes required for smooth and efficient gear operations.
Thread Grinding: Centerless grinding wheels are used for grinding external threads on cylindrical workpieces. This includes applications like thread grinding on bolts, screws, and fasteners, as well as specialized threads used in the automotive, aerospace, and oil and gas industries.
Camshaft and Crankshaft Grinding: Centerless grinding wheels play a vital role in the production of camshafts and crankshafts for engines. These critical engine components require precise grinding of lobes, journals, and bearing surfaces to ensure optimal performance and longevity.
