Cylindrical grinding for hard chrome plating

Table of contents

Precision in every turn - for optimal curvature

With modern equipment and long experience, we round grind both small parts and larger components - up to 4 meters in length and 800 mm in diameter.

Grinding is a crucial process when cylindrical metal components need high dimensional accuracy and surface finish - especially before hard chrome plating. At Lomma Hårdkrom, we perform cylindrical grinding with great precision to ensure the correct dimensions, roundness and surface quality of, for example, shafts, piston rods and rollers. With the right grinding technique as preparation, perfect conditions are created for a strong and even chrome layer.

When is cylindrical grinding used?

Cylindrical grinding is used when you need precise shape and finish on rotating parts. It is particularly important in components that are subject to high stress or movement. 

Common applications include hydraulics, rolling mills and industrial machinery - but also in the textile, sugar, food and packaging industries.

The service is used both in new production and in the refurbishment of worn parts that need to be restored to their original dimensions before new hard chrome plating is applied.

Advantages of cylindrical grinding

Cylindrical grinding offers several technical and practical advantages.

  • High precision in both roundness and straightness
  • Improved surface quality that extends service life
  • Even tolerance for hard chrome plating
  • Efficient restoration of worn components
  • Reduced friction and better fit in mechanical systems

Integral part of our surface treatment

At Lomma Hårdkrom, cylindrical grinding is a natural part of our overall solution for surface treatment. Grinding is often carried out as a pre-treatment for hard chrome plating, but also for repairs or dimensional adjustments. Because we handle the entire process - from grinding to chrome plating - you get a smooth flow and an optimized end result.

We also offer other grinding techniques such as centerless grinding, belt grinding and polishing, depending on the shape and requirements of the part.

Modern machinery and long experience

Our grinding department is equipped to handle both small and large components with the highest accuracy. Our operators have years of experience in precision grinding and know exactly what is required to achieve the best results, whether for newly manufactured parts or refurbished components.
