120,000 RPM Hydrostatic Internal Grinding Spindle with
High Frequency Axial Oscillations of the Rotating Shaft

model # ELP 120/4.5-HYBRID

The World's First "Hybrid" Spindle
ELKA Precision's engineers were the first to design and develop an internal grinding spindle which utilizes hydrostatic and hydrodynamic effects in the grinding process. By combining the high-speed rotation motion of a hydrostatic internal grinding spindle with high-frequency shaft oscillations, significantly improved grinding results can be achieved. These innovative hybrid spindles provide better thermal stability, increased rigidity, increased load capacity and much shorter grinding cycles than other high-speed spindles.

ELKA Precision's hydrostatic spindles which utilize high-frequency shaft oscillations are proven to provide extremely precise internal grinding capabilities, even with the most difficult to grind materials. With precise rotational accuracy and lasting vibration resistance, our 120,000 RPM hybrid spindle has tested accurate, is proven to be dependable and is ready to provide you with unmatched grinding efficiency and quality.
