Tooling for Bearing Industries

Carbide Shoe and Grinding positioning bush

Clamping plates are used for holding the races against the Driving plate during the grinding of Inner and Outer races during Grinding and Lapping.

Prior to external /internal grinding of bearing rings, these rings are normally facing ground on both sides on a duplex grinder with a high level of precision and accuracy for face parallelism and face waviness. One of the faces of the bearing ring is resting on the bevelled edge of the” Driving Plate ”. The other face of the bearing ring is clamped by ” Clamping Plate ” . The movement of clamping plate is by means of a high precision bearing unit of which clamping plate is one.

Due to this demanding requirement, the” Clamping plate ” is normally made of solid one piece sintered carbide of wear resistant grade . The end face of the clamping plate is precision ground and finally lapped to a very high level of surface finish and geometrical accuracy.

Thus a good quality” Clamping Plate” ia VITAL part in the hard machining process of bearing rings.


  • Parallelism is maintained within 4 micron among the faces.
  • Clamping plate in combination with Driving plate and shoe make entire set of tools for Race Grinding. This is done without holding the races radically and thereby giving high accuracy in bearings.
  • Carbide shoe is used for supporting the Bearing Races during the grinding and Lapping operatio.
  • Accuracy upto 0.01mm.
  • We also supply Shoe with PCD Insert for better life.
  • Appropriate grades are selected depending upon the application.
  • Proper Identification on each component.
  • Driving / Backing plates for bearing

    Driving plates are used for driving the Inner and the outer races during the Grinding and Lapping operation.

    Prior to external /internal grinding of bearing rings, these rings are normally facing ground on both sides on a duplex grinder with a high level of precision and accuracy for face parallelism and face waviness. One of the faces of the bearing ring is resting on the bevelled edge of the ” Driving Plate ”. Hence this becomes a ” Reference face ” for all subsequent hard machining operations.
    Due to this demanding requirement, the ” Driving plate ” is made of composite construction viz: a wear resistant carbide ring strongly brazed to a carbon steel body. The end face of the carbide ring is precision ground and finally lapped a very high level of surface finish and geometrical accuracy.
    On the machine, ” Driving plate ” is fixed to the work head spindle and it is a rotating part.On the machine, ” Driving plate ” is fixed to the work head spindle and it is a rotating part.

  • These are basically used for Linkoping and telinaus machines.
  • Parallelism between the 2 faces are maintained within 4 microns.
  • Every component is lapped to high degree of finish.
  • Accuracy upto 0.01mm.
  • Positioning of all the holes within 0.01 to avoid any problems during the assembly.
  • Many Different Geometry of Driving plates are manufactured and supplied to major Bearing Manufacturer around the world.
