Centerless Grinding by Laurel Wire Co.
Centerless grinding is a machining process where the part is at the center of two rotating wheels. These wheels are abrasive, and they remove material from the part. One of the grinding wheels is fixed while rotating, which allows the force on the part to direct downwards.
At Laurel Wire Co., we offer through-feed centerless grinding services, an operation that can produce precise part features and high-volume production. The process requires two grinding wheels to be used, one regulating wheel and a grinding wheel. The regulating wheel is used to control the force and feed rate of the part, while the grinding wheel grinds it down.
The grinding action of this wheel has a higher linear speed than the part once the point of contact occurs. The second wheel, meanwhile, is designed to provide lateral pressure to the part. At the same time, it has a rough or rubber-bonded abrasive that traps the part.
Common Applications of Centerless Grinding
Centerless grinding is used in many demanding industries. The applications for these industries vary, but they have the exact need for precision and accuracy.
Here are some of the specific common applications of centerless grinding:
- Mandrels: Mandrels are used to hold different materials and shapes like a tube or pipe. Centerless grinding is applied in these tools to remove any irregularities on the surface.
- Pins: Precision pins need centerless grinding for optimal results because of their small diameters.
- Shafts: For shafts, precision centerless grinding can produce smooth surfaces with tight tolerances in diameter, roundness, and straightness.
With many types of parts requiring precision and accuracy, centerless grinding is the most efficient way to achieve this. Plus, it’s also cost-effective and versatile in dealing with different types of parts.
