WK1420x500 Universal Cylindrical Grinding Machine

OD and ID grinding on one machine, for shafts, bushes, needle valves and plungers.

WK1420x500 universal cylindrical grinding machine with workhead and tailstock
Product Overview

What the WK1420x500 Does

The WK1420x500 grinds cylindrical and conical workpieces up to 200 mm outside diameter and 500 mm in length, with an internal spindle covering 30 to 100 mm bores. Workhead, outside wheel, internal wheel, oil pump and coolant pump are each driven by their own motor. The machine is rated at 1.5 micron roundness on outside diameters and 2.5 micron on bores, and is also available in a CNC configuration.

Who it is for: Hydraulic and pneumatic component makers, fuel system and valve manufacturers, bearing and bush producers, and tool rooms grinding punch pins and small precision shafts.

Key Benefits

Four Reasons Buyers Choose This Model

1.5 Micron Roundness on Outside Diameters

Rated roundness of 1.5 micron OD and 2.5 micron ID, with longitudinal uniformity of 5 micron OD and 8 micron ID over the full 500 mm.

Ra 0.25 Micron Surface Roughness

Rated Ra 0.25 micron on outside diameters and Ra 0.63 micron on bores, fine enough for running and sealing surfaces.

Bore and Outside in One Clamping

A 14000 rpm internal spindle alongside the OD wheel head means concentricity between bore and outside is set by the machine, not by two setups.

Table Swivel Minus 5 to Plus 9 Degrees

Shallow tapers, morse fits and conical seats are ground on the machine rather than requiring a dedicated taper attachment.

Application Scenarios

Where the WK1420x500 Is Used

  • Grinding small shafts and spindles after hardening
  • Finishing round sets and bushes on bore and outside diameter
  • Needle valve and valve seat grinding for hydraulic assemblies
  • Plunger and pump element grinding to a sealing fit
  • Punch pin and form tool grinding in press tool rooms
Grinding wheel and coolant nozzles engaged on a rotating workpiece
Problems It Solves

Three Things This Machine Removes From Your Process

Run Out Between Bore and Outside Diameter

Grinding the two features on separate machines stacks two setup errors. One clamping on a universal machine removes that.

Hardened Parts That Cannot Be Turned

After heat treatment the lathe is no longer an option. Grinding takes the stock off without softening or distorting the part.

Tapers Ground on the Wrong Machine

A table that swivels from minus 5 to plus 9 degrees grinds the taper directly instead of approximating it.

Manufacturing Process

How the WK1420x500 Is Made

Six stages, each of them completed in our own hall in Shenzhen before the machine is crated.

Bed cast and stress relieved
Ways machined, hardened and ground
Workhead and wheel spindles assembled and run in
Internal spindle unit fitted and speed tested
Table swivel and travel calibrated
Test grinding with roundness measurement
Quality Control

Checked Before It Is Crated

  • Spindle run out measured on workhead and wheel head
  • Table travel and swivel accuracy verified
  • Roundness measured on ground test pieces
  • Surface roughness checked against the rated figures
  • Electrical and safety inspection before crating
Customisation Options

What We Change on Request

  • CNC configuration with FANUC, SIEMENS, SYNTEC or GSK control
  • Wheel balancing stand
  • Centre rest for slender workpieces
  • Closed type radius dresser
  • Wheel specification matched to your material and finish target

Comparison

How It Compares With Our Other Machines

The WK1420x500 is the universal machine in the range. Choose a centerless machine instead when volume and repetition matter more than flexibility.

Use Guide

Getting Good Parts Off the WK1420x500

  • Set the workpiece between centres and check run out before grinding
  • Balance the outside wheel on a stand before mounting
  • Use a centre rest on slender work to stop deflection and taper
  • Dress the wheel with the same coolant conditions used for grinding
  • Grind the bore before the outside where concentricity is the critical feature
  • Allow the machine to reach thermal stability before final size passes
Questions

WK1420x500 Questions

What is the maximum workpiece this machine takes?

200 mm outside diameter, 500 mm grinding length and 50 kg between centres at 135 mm centre height.

What bore sizes can the internal spindle grind?

30 to 100 mm diameter, up to 500 mm deep, with the spindle running at 14000 rpm.

Is a CNC version of this machine available?

Yes. The CNC configuration is quoted with your choice of FANUC, SIEMENS, SYNTEC or GSK control.

What roundness will I actually achieve?

The machine is rated at 1.5 micron OD and 2.5 micron ID. Real results depend on workholding, wheel condition, coolant and part rigidity, which is why we ask for the drawing before quoting.

Which accessories are worth ordering with it?

A wheel balancing stand, a centre rest and a closed type radius dresser are the standard additions. We list them on the quote.

Can it grind tapers?

Yes. The table swivels from minus 5 to plus 9 degrees, and the tailstock takes a number 4 morse taper.
