External Cylindrical & Centerless Grinding


Cylindrical wheels are most often used when the part is held between centers and in chucks. There are three methods of cylindrical grinding: plunge, traverse and angular.
1. Plunge grinding-wheel is thrust or plunged into the part
2. Traverse grinding-wheel moves across the part
3. Angular grinding-wheel infeed into the part at an angle

If used in grinding machines with high power & high rigidity as well as at higher surface speed such as 45m/s, the wheels can achieve more consistent size precision, less dressing, higher efficiency and higher cutting ability.
