Abstract

The invention relates to a method for grinding convex running surfaces and exact outside diameters on undulated workpieces. In a clamping, a first convex running surface is ground on a discoid partial section of an undulated workpiece during a first grinding operation while using a first grinding wheel that comprises at least one concave lateral surface. A second grinding wheel is used to grind a desired outside diameter on the discoid partial section as well as on other partial sections of the undulated workpiece during a second grinding operation.
