Advantages and special features of a
hydrostatic tailstock
- Roundness 0.2 μm independent of the workpiece centering
- Grinding heavy workpieces between holders < 0.5 μm
- Shafts with large bores can be ground between centers without intermediate shafts with small centering bores
- Wear-free bearings with very good damping and excellent long-term concentricity
- Drive via the workpiece or separate motor
- Constant clamping force during processing
- Grinding of crankshafts and balancer shafts, for example, in significantly higher quality
