Grinding

Grinding Capabilities Expand at Linn Gear Co.

The new technology available in finishing today is now present at Linn Gear Co. with the purchase of a new Studer CNC cylindrical grinder. Our capabilities and quality have dramatically increased. We can now provide precision ground surfaces while maintaining the tightest tolerances and surface finishes. The CNC processor controls both external and internal grinding operations. This allows concave and convex radius grinding, ground tapers, shoulders, and faces at an affordable cost. CNC control also means excellent repeatability on multiple piece orders.

Along with the Studer we have recently added a Sunnen electronically controlled honing machine for holding tighter tolerances and faster deliveries.

With this equipment added to our previous grinding capabilities our specialists can perform most grinding operations at our shop. This way no “send-out” delays occur.

In addition to ID/OD and surface grinding we do grinding of spur and helical gear teeth and worm threads as well. See the Tooth Cutting Processes page for more information.

Make sure to look below at the incredible accuracy the Studer is capable of!
