Ghiringhelli is a family-owned Italian manufacturer of centerless grinders. It celebrated its 100th anniversary in 2021 and presented its new A80 line at EMO. Older machines, for example the M 100 type from the 1980s, are still found on the used machine market and remain in service in many workshops.
Grinding wheel and regulating wheel spindles
TLDR: On a centerless grinder, the grinding wheel spindle and the regulating wheel spindle each play their own part in the accuracy of the parts.
Part accuracy depends on the stability of both spindles: the grinding wheel spindle and the regulating wheel spindle. On a Ghiringhelli spindle, a worn bearing causes cylindricity errors and chatter marks. The manufacturer does not publish spindle specifications: we confirm them with the quote.
