CASE STUDY: Wheel Hub Bearing Grind with CERALOX

Tool Life Increased 350%!

In this application, the customer was grinding wheel hub bearings in high-production, using a sintered aluminum oxide grinding wheel from another manufacturer.  The targets were:

  1. Increase the dressing interval
  2. Increase the tool life
  3. Reduce cost/part

Meister engineers designed and tested a new wheel using CERALOX technology. The result was a dramatic increase in wheel life (+350%) and a very satisfied customer.
