Benefits include reduced spindle wear, higher operational speeds, and minimal thermal expansion, making them ideal for high-speed applications. [Learn more](https://advancedgrindingsolutions.co.uk/download-request?hsLang=en) ![Industries](https://advancedgrindingsolutions.co.uk/hubfs/Your%20paragraph%20text%20(90).png "Industries") **FEATHERLIGHT:** Innovative design reduces the weight of grinding arbors by an impressive 70-80% compared to conventional carbide versions. This enables easier handling and improved production efficiency. **EFFICIENT:** The lighter weight significantly reduces spindle wear and allows for higher speeds, enhancing productivity and extending machine life cycles. **STAYS COOL:** A key feature is the thermal stability of the silicon-based GC material, with its extremely low thermal expansion. This makes it ideal for high-speed applications, further optimising your grinding processes. **ECO-FRIENDLY:** Unlike conventional carbide parts, the silicon-based grinding arbors contain no rare earth elements or heavy metals, making them not only a technological advantage but also an environmentally conscious choice. ### **Manufactured for the following industries:** - Internal cylindrical grinding in general - Bearing Industry  - Transmission Technology - Pump Technology - Injection Technology - Automotive Industry [Learn more](https://advancedgrindingsolutions.co.uk/download-request?hsLang=en) ## Custom Special Parts SCHIEK manufactures custom-made special parts tailored to individual customer needs. ![Special Orders](https://advancedgrindingsolutions.co.uk/hs-fs/hubfs/Untitled%20(Square%20Pillow)%20-%202025-04-25T141535.617.png?width=2000&height=2000&name=Untitled%20(Square%20Pillow)%20-%202025-04-25T141535.617.png "Special Orders") - ​**Carbide Bushings**: Durable and precise components for demanding applications. - **Carbide Nozzles**: Ideal for high-stress and wear-resistant uses.​ - **Motorsport Piston Pins**: Engineered for maximum performance and reliability.​ - **Steel and Carbide Combinations**: Merging the benefits of both materials for innovative solutions.​ - **Ejector Pins and Punches**: Robust tools customized to specific requirements.​ - **Deburring Tools**: Made from Novaculite (Arkansas Stone) for precise surface finishing.
