Bearings
The bearing industry assures the smooth and reliable operation of numerous machines that we depend on every day and without it, modern society wouldn’t be the same. From cars to airplanes, bearings reduce friction and wear between moving parts, and their pivotal role is fundamental to our everyday lives.
Precision Grinding of Bearings
In the manufacturing process of bearings, precision grinding is usually the final step before honing, where components are ground and then honed to exact standards. The quality of the grinding and honing processes has a direct impact on the bearings’ performance and durability as it ensures the components’ accuracy, surface finish, and overall quality. To achieve optimal machining, rolling bearings require tailored solutions. The bearing’s size, material, and type play a determinative role as each has its unique requirements. Alfons Schmeier’s highly customizable solutions achieve utmost precision and unparalleled results during this critical grinding process.
Alfons Schmeier offers a range of internal grinding and superfinishing solutions with vitrified bonded CBN, diamond, silicon carbide, corundum, and sintered corundum abrasives.

Ball Screws
Known for their high efficiency, precision and accuracy, ball screws are commonly used in applications where tight tolerances and fine positioning are required, improving the performance of almost any application. Ball screws are commonly found in machine tools, such as CNC machines, lathes on which workpiece or tool carrier have to be positioned, as well as the electronic power steering (EPS) systems installed in almost every car.
Alfons Schmeier provides special CBN tools particularly suited to the intricate process of ball screw grinding. The use of a self-sharpening bond allows for a burn-free and stable profile grinding of ball screw nuts.

Bearing Rings
Typically, bearing rings consist of an outer ring and an inner ring. They are manufactured with precision to ensure proper fit and function in the bearing assembly. Since the bearing rings are critical to the performance and durability of a bearing, achieving the required surface quality during the grinding process is of an utmost importance.
When it comes to bore grinding for the bearing industry, CBN, sintered corundum and diamond abrasives ensure extended dressing intervals and reduced grinding time. Thanks to its decades-long expertise, Alfons Schmeier has engineered expert solutions that overcome the challenges of a relatively small wheel diameter and a large contact zone.
