Abstract

The grinder, especially a high precision grinder, for a ring bearing which has a race with a curved cross section comprises at least one tool support and at least one tool holder. The tool holder is support in the tool support on two equal feed guide rods. A feed piston cylinder device for a feed and a withdrawal motion is provided. The tool support with the tool holder is oscillatable to and fro about a substantially central oscillation axis through the tool support which provides a tool mounted in the tool holder in the working position with a to and fro pivoting motion rotating substantially about the center of the curved cross section of the race. To minimize disturbing vibration the feed guide rods are held and secured at both ends by at least one crosstie bar. The crosstie bars at both ends of the feed guide bars are mass balanced in regard to the pivoting motion. The feed piston cylinder device comprises two mass balanced cylinders positioned axially centrally in the tool holder and two mass balanced pistons in the cylinders whose piston rods are attached centrally to the crosstie bars.
