Crankshaft Grinding Wheels – Auto Components

Good

What sets crankshaft grinding apart from the other cylindrical grinding processes is the extremely crucial function of the crankshaft itself. Crankshaft design requires meticulous attention from material selection to the various hardening processes. Each part of the crankshaft is designed to have different hardness, meeting specific demands of the application. Grinding of the shoulder region is a surface grinding operation, while the grinding of the pin is a cylindrical grinding operation. This poses a great challenge in designing a wheel that performs both these processes efficiently. With the incorporation of the latest advances in abrasive grains and vitrified bond technology, CUMI provides crankshaft grinding wheels that can face each of these challenges. The basic composition of the wheels is designed to give maximum life and excellent form holding, while physical forms like slotted wheels, sandwich wheels, dual-grade wheels, etc., enable the wheels to grind without burns.

Product Description

Crankshaft grinding wheel for auto components

Crankshaft grinding is one of the most critical engine component machining stages—requiring flawless form accuracy, burn-free surfaces, and durability that withstands engine load cycles. CUMI Crankshaft Grinding Wheels are engineered to handle dual-process grinding—surface grinding for shoulders and cylindrical grinding for pins—ensuring uniform results across varied hardness zones of the crankshaft.

FAB – Features → Advantage → Benefit

  • Advanced abrasive grains → aggressive cutting action → reduces heat buildup & prevents burns on hardened shoulders
  • Vitrified bond technology → strong bond retention → maintains wheel form for long production batches
  • Dual-grade/slotted/sandwich wheel formats → adaptable configuration → ideal for both surface and cylindrical grinding in one setup
  • High form stability composition → minimal wheel wear → ensures taper-free pin grinding and maintains engine performance tolerances
  • Custom hardness & structure options → OEM-grade precision → improved cost per component & lower rejection in engine lines

FAQs
01.
Which industry uses crankshaft grinding wheels? Primarily the Auto / Auto-Ancillary sector — engine crankshaft & powertrain machining plants.
02.
Why are slotted wheels used in crankshaft grinding? Slots allow better coolant penetration and reduce heat, preventing burn marks.
03.
Can a single wheel handle both pin & shoulder grinding? Yes CUMI dual-grade wheels support both processes.
04.
Does vitrified bond improve form retention? Yes — it maintains geometry even under continuous pressure.
05.
Can CUMI customize wheels for hardness variation across crankshafts? Yes — bond and grit can be matched to heat-treated zones.
