Overbeck spindle and motor spindle repair
Brochexpress is an independent workshop specializing in the repair, maintenance and diagnostics of Overbeck spindles and motor spindles. Overbeck is a German manufacturer of high-precision internal, external and radius grinders, based in Herborn and presented alongside Danobat.
Overbeck, high-precision internal grinding from Herborn
TLDR: Danobat Overbeck (Herborn, Germany) builds high-precision internal, external and radius grinders, as well as hard turning solutions. Its ranges include the IRD, ILD and LG.
Danobat Overbeck is based in Herborn, Germany. Its range covers high-precision machines for internal, external and radius grinding, as well as hard turning solutions. Three models are presented: the IRD, for parts with complex geometry; the ILD, for grinding long bores; and the LG, a high-precision external grinder.
The company says it has been active in manufacturing solutions for more than sixty years and presents its machines together with those of Danobat, the group the Overbeck brand belongs to: see our page on Danobat spindles and motor spindles. Older machines, such as a 1971 Overbeck 250 I, are still found on the used market.
Very high-speed internal grinding spindles
TLDR: In internal grinding, the wheel spindle is the critical component: small diameter, high speed, tight runout requirements. A 1971 Overbeck 250 I was for instance sold without its air spindle, which had been removed from the machine.
Overbeck internal grinders rely on small-diameter spindles running at very high speed, sometimes air-driven as on some older machines. A listing for a 250 I (1971) gives a maximum bore of 80 mm over a grinding depth of 150 mm, with a surface grinding attachment. Overbeck spindle specifications for current models are not published in the sources we consulted: we confirm them in our quote, from the machine's nameplate.
