Anti-friction bearings - excellent quality with Supfina SUPERFINISHINGmachines

SUPERFINISHING machines made by Supfina Grieshaber, technology partner of the anti-friction bearing industry worldwide, contribute to a large extent to making the latest generation of anti-friction bearings last up to three times longer than conventional ones.

The key to increasing the performance of an anti-friction bearing is in the enhancement of the surface quality. The characteristics of an ideally formed bearing are no longer restricted to the mean roughness value of the track. Indeed, Supfina's NC controlled machines are in a position to manufacture reproducible surfaces with a defined percentage contact area and mean contour slopes within the closest of tolerances. This improved precision, which also applies to the workpiece shape, is accompanied by even greater versatility and productivity. Supfina machines can achieve cycle times of less than three seconds and retooling for a different workpiece model is completed in only seven minutes. Models 725, 727 and 585 are designed for machining bearing races, while models 470 and 1545 are specifically for machining various geometries of bearing rollers.

Supfina Grieshaber provides economical, high-precision SUPERFINISH machining of anti-friction bearing components all under one roof. And if you should ever need a larger machine: there are suitable Supfina machines for bearing races of up to 1,200 mm in diameter.
