Cam & Crankshaft grinding wheels

 

Grinding wheels for camshaft and crankshaft applications are specialised tools designed to meet the rigorous demands of engine component machining. These wheels are crafted to achieve precise tolerances and high-quality finishes, essential for the optimal performance of automotive engines. The selection of the appropriate grinding wheel is critical, as it must match the material hardness and geometry of the camshaft or crankshaft. For instance, vitrified bonded CBN grinding wheels are commonly used for car crankshafts due to their ability to provide a high-quality surface finish and maintain dimensional accuracy. On the other hand, larger crankshafts, such as those in diesel and marine engines, might still be machined with conventional vitrified aluminum oxide grinding wheels. The process involves not only the right wheel but also the correct setup, coolant flow, and dressing tools to ensure the wheel performs at its best.
