Centerless polishing is an effective method for giving round metal components a smooth and controlled surface finish. At Lomma Hårdkrom, we use the technique as a natural step in the processing, especially in connection with hard chrome plating and surface treatment.
Polishing is carried out without clamping the part, instead it is passed through rotating polishing belts or wheels, between a guide wheel and a supporting bed. This gives high repeatability, a smooth surface and good roundness. The method is ideal for components such as shafts, piston rods or rods in series production.
The technique is used when a fine surface is required, both for aesthetic and functional reasons. A polished surface reduces friction, improves fit and prepares the part for further surface treatment such as hard chrome plating.
The service is suitable for the manufacture, repair and dimensional adjustment of parts in areas such as hydraulics, process industry and machine building. The result is a smooth finish with consistent quality.
Centerless polishing is part of our total solution for surface treatment. By handling grinding, polishing and chrome plating in-house, we create a smooth flow with short lead times and high end quality.
Do you have newly manufactured components that need durable surfaces? We help you from start to finished product. We have extensive experience of delivering hard chrome plating to customers in:

Centerless polishing offers several technical and practical advantages
Polishing is often a crucial step in our finishing chain. With centerless technology, you get consistent quality on parts that require precision and good finish. Polishing is often done before hard chrome plating, but can also be used after, depending on the requirements specification.
In addition to centerless polishing, we also offer cylindrical grinding, belt grinding and other processing methods - always adapted to the shape, material and function of the part.
We have extensive experience in processing details before surface treatment. Through the right choice of method and careful execution, we ensure that each detail gets the right finish, dimensions and conditions to last over time.
