Elite has the full range of grinding wheels solutions for all different types of application, including vitrified, resinoid and rubber wheels. Through the R&D Center in Chennai (India), Elite is able to provide the best-fit solution for the customer needs, matching high quality abrasive types with high performance manufacturing process.
The abrasive offer includes products in aluminium oxide, silicon carbide, mono crystalline and ceramic for high performance (best solution in order to combine productivity and durability). Furthermore, with the new V-cool bond technology, Elite can engineer effective solutions of “auto cooling effect” in order to avoid any formation of micro, macro burns and re-tempering.
For the bearings industry Elite is able to offer best in class products with the complete range of solutions for all type of bearings and bearing components.
Track grinding wheels, for instance, must maintain form to ensure profile accuracy of the groove of inner ring. This ensures that the wheels are dressed less often, leading to significant improvement in productivity and consistency of the process. Elite offers track grinding wheels made with a special fusible glassy bond with sharp abrasive grain combination that ensures form holding while offering high material removal rates in a high contact area application. An advanced manufacturing process ensures that the wheel’s hardness is consistent through the wheel life and highest levels of safety are maintained. The combination with special bonded technology and best abrasive technology can guaranty high material removal rate also in high contact area without any risk of micro burning and long wheels life.
For the grinding of the bearing rings faces Elite can propose different solutions of resinoid F-Type wheels designed for the complete range of double disc machines. Elite engineers are in condition to suggest the best solution in function of the dimension of the rings and of size of the faces to be ground. In case there is a significant difference in the rings faces area between the 2 sides of ring (like, for instance, in taper roller bearing rings) Elite can propose different grain sizes and/or abrasives in order to increase the efficiency of the machine.
Elite resinoid wheels are available with different abrasives (in aluminium oxide for standard application, in ceramic abrasive for high performance or in both in a full range of grain size) and in a wide range of bonds (including phenolic, magnesite and polyester).
Elite wheels are proven to perform at high feed rates and material removal applications while meeting stringent quality requirements in terms of size tolerances, heat generation and surface finishes, thanks to a special technology of grain-bond combination, which ensures free cutting. Physical features like coolant slots, through holes and honeycomb structure aid in taking the performance of the wheels to the next level.
For the rings external and internal grinding, Elite has a complete range of wheels and abrasives to offer, suitable for full range of grinding machines available on the market and for all types of grinding (plunge, infeed and centreless). In this segment Elite can offer best in class solutions that have no comparison in the market in terms of wheels durability and productivity.
Elite vitrified wheels are available in a full range of abrasive: in aluminium Oxide AA, 12A and also in RA and RAA (pink aluminium oxide) designed to keep all types of profile for very long time; in monocrystalline sharp aluminium oxide 53-55A for high performance applications; in ceramic abrasive MCA-CUMISA for superior expectations.
Elite regulating wheels (rubber wheels) are without comparison in the market, thanks to the long terms experience of the business partner in making them. The calendaring process enables excellent control in size and finish of components being ground. Special features assured by these wheels are a longer wheel life, a lesser dressing frequency, a superior form retention and an excellent surface finish. Elite covers the full range of dimensions for these rubber wheels.
Elite’s versatile range of bore grinding wheels is used for grinding a variety of components that require size generation, fine surface finish and fast stock removal. The offer includes also value added services like sulphur treatment for lubrication and cooler cutting action. These wheels are characterized by sharp aluminium oxide grains for excellent cutting action and by crystal bond for form holding (V500).
For the bearing rollers grinding, Elite is able to offer a complete range of wheels and abrasives, suitable for the whole range of machines and both for centreless grinding and plunge grinding. In this segment we have best in class solutions that have no comparison in the worldwide market.
For the end face grinding of taper, cylindrical and spherical rollers, Elite owns different solutions of resinoid F-Type wheels (designed for the complete range of double disc machines) and vitrified cup wheels (for taper rollers end face grinders). With a very long experience in the field, the engineers are in condition to suggest the optimal solution in base to the roller dimensions and to the face area to be ground.
ICT resinoid and cup wheels are available in different abrasive types: in aluminium oxide for standard applications (A, SA, AA), in ceramic abrasive for high performance (CUMISA, MCA) and in a combination of the above types, all in a full range of grain sizes.
Elite has advances grinding solutions also for other industries like gears, automotive, steel mill and many other industries.
