Product Specifications

Technical details and manufacturing context for Wheel Head

Definition
The wheel head is a critical component of a surface grinder that contains the grinding wheel spindle, bearings, drive motor, and mounting mechanism. It provides precise vertical and horizontal movement to position the grinding wheel against the workpiece, enabling accurate material removal and surface finishing operations.
Working Principle
The wheel head receives power from the grinder's motor system to rotate the grinding wheel at high speeds. Through manual or automated controls, it moves along vertical and horizontal axes to bring the grinding wheel into contact with the workpiece. Precision adjustments allow for controlled depth of cut and surface finishing.
