Nova Bearing Track Grinding Machines
Nova is a leading manufacturer of high-performance CNC grinding machines, specialising in internal, external, and combined grinding applications, with a particular focus on the bearing industry. Their machines are renowned for precision, speed, and uptime, featuring easy access for quick changeovers and maintenance. Flexible workholding options, including roller/shoe, magnetic/shoe, and chucking systems, accommodate a wide range of part geometries and materials.
The Nova PGE series external grinders achieve exceptional accuracy, delivering roundness below 0.0005 mm with ultra-fast cycle times. These machines are ideal for grinding roller bearing tracks, ball grooves, and CV joint cages. For components requiring multiple surfaces ground with strict tolerances, combination machines equipped with multi-spindle turrets enable internal, face, and external grinding in a single setup, enhancing efficiency and consistency.
Additionally, Nova specialises in machines for grinding key CV joint components for automotive and off-highway applications, including the outer race (internal spheres and ball tracks), inner race (external and ball tracks), and ball cage (internal, external, and windows). With advanced dressing systems and robust machine design, Nova provides comprehensive grinding solutions for demanding production environments.
